Abstract

An experience of the Gascom Joint-Stock Company is described to manage technical risks associated with ensuring of required reliability for spacecraft radio-electronic equipment. Requirements are stated for a management system intended to deal with reliability of the equipment. Suitable management principles are suggested. An appropriate structure for some information subsystem is founded to enhance efficiency of corresponding decision making process. Implementation results are reported and analyzed to demonstrate using of the approach in the Yamal-200 spacecraft development process. This spacecraft was accepted for operation in the year 2004.
