Abstract :
The authors describe how NASA appears to be undergoing a paradigm shift in its approach to Space Shuttle risk management. At least in some quarters, there appears to be a recognition that advances in the state-of-the-art have now made quantitative risk assessments powerful risk management tools, especially for programs such as the Shuttle with its ever increasing flight and test history data sets and its ever shrinking operational budget
