  • Abstract
    After a short description of common accident models and their limitations, a new model is used to evaluate the causal factors in a mission interruption of the SOHO (SOlar Heliospheric Observatory) spacecraft. The factors in this accident are similar to common factors found in other recent software related aerospace losses
