Launch Vehicle Design and Requirements Verification Using Statistical Methods

- This presentation applies statistics to launch vehicle design, but the methods may be used for other engineering applications
- Vehicle Models: What do we know when? How to separate parameters for making Monte Carlo runs
- Known when assembling the vehicle but not during design
- Known prior to committing to flight
- Unknown at lift off
- How do we correctly model the vehicle during the design phases?
- Number of Monte Carlo samples
- Requirements success
- Design parameter values
