PREFACE
This Phase Zero NASA Safety Review Data Package has been prepared by RCA
Astro-Electronics Division for the California Institute Of Technology Jet
Propulsion Laboratory. RCA has made maximum use of the experience gained with
the NASA safety process on previous spacecraft programs i n the preparation of
this package. This package also reflects the continuing effort at RCA to
refine our spacecraft safety packages. We believe that this package i s
totally responsive to the NASA safety requirements (as detailed i n NHB
1700.7A, and KHB 1700.7A). This package has been prepared as outlined i n
JSC-13830A and the Mars Observer safety analysis has been performed using the
guidelines i n JSC-11123, as specified i n JSC-13830A. RCA i s proud t o present
the Mars Observer Phase Zero NASA Safety Review Data Package.

1.0 The Mars Observer Spacecraft
The Mars Observer i s a planetary exploration spacecraft that w i l l be used
t o explore Mars. The spacecraft i s being built for the California
Institute Of Technology Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) by RCA
Astro-Electronics Division. RCA, as the prime contractor, provides the
spacecraft bus and i t s associated subsystems and conducts the system
integration and test activities for the entire flight system. The
scientific payload i s provided by JPL to RCA for integration with the
spacecraft bus. The scientific payload subcontracts are managed by JPL.
This package i s directed toward the RCA provided bus and spacecraft
subsystems while the scientific payload i s discussed i n an appendix to
this package t o be supplied by JPL.
