need, more than ever, for the software we write to work reliably in a wide range of conditions--even, and especially, in unexpected conditions. This paper, written by Robert Rasmussen from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 2008, documents and explains some fundamental principles about designing fault tolerant systems as learned through the hard-won experience of designing Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GN&C) systems for spacecraft. This paper is rich in principles, examples, and advice, and has a lot to offer to our industry generally--even for those of us who don't actively work on software for spaceships!

As software becomes more and more integrated in our daily lives, we need, more than ever, for the software we write to work reliably in a wide range of conditions--even, and especially, in unexpected conditions.
