**Field(s) of activity for the internship**

**Topic of the internship: Support to reliability modelling handbook improvements**-The objectives of this initiative is to:

- Overcome the limitations of the now outdated reliability standards;
- Propose more realistic overall models based on the observations and the knowledge gained over the years by the space community.
- It is also useful for ensuring that the probability of deorbitation/reorbitation and probability of passivation reach the targets defined by the ESA cleanspace requirements.
A more mastered use of reliability data and models allows having more confidence in the proposed designs vs reality, to ensure more accurate failure avoidance and failure tolerance implements. Thus, it does limit overdesign at spacecraft level and permits reliable sizing management at system of system level (for instance the number of spares needed for constellations).
After several studies and discussions within an ECSS Working Group, the handbook is currently:

- Available as Word documents with the latest proposition of improvements.
The objective of the internship is to support the updates in terms of:

- Additional modellings of Electronic Components from ESA programs based on the updates of the FIDES reliability method between its 2009 and 2022 versions;
- Validation of some already existing models for mechanical and miscellaneous elements from some ESA programs;
- Update of the document for uses other than satellites (ground segments, launchers, inhabited spacecrafts) with descriptions and examples of modellings;
- Propositions of improvements of the handbook’s content in order to be as user friendly as possible;
- Updates of the online digital platform with the final handbook version 2.0 content.
