THE ADVANCED STIRLING CONVERTOR (ASC) UNITS ARE REQUIRED TO OPERATE SUCCESSFULLY OVER A 3-YEAR STORAGE PERIOD, TO SURVIVE THE LAUNCH AND ASSENT ENVIRONMENT, AND THEN OPERATE SUCCESSFULLY OVER THE LIFE OF AT LEAST A 14-YEAR SPACE MISSION. THE NASA GRC HAS A CRITICAL ROLE IN THE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT, TESTING AND RELIABILITY EVALUATION OF THE ASC UNITS. THE RELIABILITY ENGINEERING EFFORT MUST ACQUIRE DATA, CHARACTERIZE ASC UNITS, AND ANALYZE DATA TO DEMONSTRATE THAT THE ASC WILL HAVE SUFFICIENT RELIABILITY TO SUPPORT LONG DURATION SPACE MISSIONS. THE CHARACTERIZATION AND ANALYSIS OF ASC UNITS WILL ALSO SUPPORT LOCKHEED-MARTIN IN MEETING THEIR ASRG SYSTEM SPECIFICATION AND MOVING TOWARD A QUALIFICATION FOR FLIGHT ON THE ASRG. LIFE TESTING OF ASC UNITS IS VERY LIMITED IN TERMS OF SAMPLING SIZE AND TOTAL AVAILABLE TEST TIME PER THE PROGRAM SCHEDULE. AS MORE DATA AND INFORMATION BECOMES AVAILABLE, THE PHYSICS-BASED PROBABILISTIC MODELS FOR ASC COMPONENTS WILL BE UPDATED. ANY NEWLY DISCOVERED FAILURE MECHANISMS, FAILURE MODES AND EFFECTS FROM TEST OBSERVATIONS OR ANALYSIS OF TEST DATA WILL BE USED TO UPDATE THE PHYSICS-BASED RELIABILITY MODELS AND PREDICTIONS FOR COMPONENTS. AS ALREADY DEMONSTRATED, RELIABILITY ASSESSMENTS BASED ON FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICAL BEHAVIOR OF COMPONENTS AND THEIR INTERACTION WITH OTHER COMPONENTS IS A SUPERIOR TECHNIQUE TO THE CONVENTIONAL RELIABILITY BLOCK DIAGRAMS METHOD THAT UTILIZES FAILURE RATES DERIVED FROM SIMILAR EQUIPMENT OR SIMPLY EXPERT JUDGMENT. THE EFFORT REQUIRED IS TO IDENTIFY UNCERTAINTIES IN THE RADIOISOTOPE STIRLING CONVERTOR DESIGN VARIABLES, COMPARE WITH EXISTING AND NEW TEST DATA FROM UNITS AND COMPONENTS, AND THEN TO UPDATE SELECTED PHYSICS-BASED MODELS FOR INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS. IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO PERFORM A RELIABILITY ANALYSIS OF THE ASC AS A WHOLE SYSTEM .
