- nasa PEMS Policy White Paper: Background Information
- Plastic Encapsulated Microcircuits (PEMs) offer advantages of size, weight, cost, and availability. The traditional barrier to their use in highly reliable systems has been their perceived lower reliability in space and aerospace applications. This paper gives a detailed description of PEMs and their role in space and aerospace applications.

- Too Little Team Conflict Can Lead to Disaster
- We remember sitting in a sixth-grade classroom on January 28, 1986, watching the catastrophic events of the clear, crisp morning near Cape Canaveral, Florida unfold on a large television screen. What many saw and remember as the explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger, barely on its way to the Earth's...

- Initial Development of a Metric to Describe the Level of Safety Associated With Piloting an Aircraft With Synthetic Vision Systems (SVS) Displays
- Synthetic Vision Systems (SVS) displays provide pilots with a continuous view of terrain combined with integrated guidance symbology in an effort to increase situation awareness (SA) and decrease workload during operations in Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC). It is hypothesized that SVS displays can replicate the safety and operational flexibility of...
