NASA GSFC 431-REF-000273, SINGLE EVENT EFFECT CRITICALITY ANALYIS (16 FEB 1996)., Our goal in generating this document is to aid the individuals in project management, systems engineering, radiation effects, and reliability engineering who carry the responsibilities for successful deployment of NASA systems in orbital particle environments. Traditionally, in a manner which may differ from NASA center to NASA center, this effort has involved many iterative passes through system and subsystem designs with involvement of engineers representing the above disciplines. These efforts began in the 1970s when one or two low level integration device types were identified to be susceptible to single event upset (SEU). Since then, with advances in technology, the arena has expanded to include many types of single event effects (SEEs) in many technologies. The necessary advent of SEE hardened device technologies has alleviated some of the worries, but simultaneously added another dimension to the already complex trade space involved in SEE system design and analysis. Indeed, it is the combination of the universal nature of the concern across NASA centers, coupled with the complexities of the issues, which has prompted this study. Our aim is not to prescribe approaches to SEE immune system design, but rather to examine the analysis process and suggest streamlined approaches to the related design problems. In short, we seek to codify the successful elements which, in many cases, already exist for assessing SEE risk and suggest a timeline and procedure for implementing SEE risk analysis with respect to the system design effort.

NASA GSFC 431-REF-000370, FLIGHT ASSURANCE PROCEDURE-PERFORMING A FAILURE MODE AND EFFECTS ANALYSIS (10 AUG 1996)., This procedure establishes guidelines for conducting a Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) on GSFC spacecraft and instruments. Typical ground rules for an FMEA are given along with an overview of the technique, principal, step-by-step instructions, sample work sheets, and work sheet data entries. Specific projects must, of course, add to, delete and otherwise tailor the procedures to conform with their needs, objectives, and contractual requirements. That is particularly true of safety issues or workaround operational methods. Although software analysis is outside the scope of an FMEA, the effects of failure modes at both software and hardware-software interfaces are included.

Each Earth Explorers project/mission is required to be implemented in accordance with the aerospace industry best practices for mission assurance, as they apply to that particular mission.

NASA GSFC 500-PG-8700.2.7, FIELD PROGRAMMABLE GATE ARRAY (FPGA) DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGY (13 NOV 2006)., As FPGA technology advances, there is a growing trend for incorporating into these devices an increasing amount of the circuitry traditionally implemented as discrete digital components with degrees of complexity ranging from small to Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI). In some cases, the equivalent of an extremely large number of Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) based on such technology can be condensed into a single FPGA device. There is a need for FPGA development guidelines that ensure that adequate and consistent rules are applied to all FPGA designs, equivalent to those followed for traditional PCB implementations. This document establishes a methodology for the development of FPGA designs and is intended for use by engineering leads responsible for designs that include the use of FPGA devices. It is not concerned with detailed design guidelines, but rather with the development process itself. A separate document referenced in P.4, 500-PG-8700.2.7, covers specific technical recommendations for the design and evaluation of FPGA designs and is intended primarily for use by FPGA designers. The two documents are intended to compliment each other.
