Document summary
A 1996 technical report (by Research Triangle Institute) on launch-risk analysis, included in the document release as reference material. It describes how "Mode-5" failure responses — failures that cause large deviations from the intended flight line — are modeled in the DAMP risk-analysis program, and includes an appendix with a brief failure history of Atlas, Delta and Titan missile and space-vehicle launches through August 1996.
Official page text
- The report models Mode-5 launch-failure responses and how they are weighted in launch-risk analysis.
- An appendix catalogs the failure history of Atlas, Delta and Titan launches from each program's start through August 1996.
- It is a technical/statistical reference document, not a UAP sighting report.
Official note
- Despite its inclusion in the UAP release, this document concerns launch-vehicle failure modeling and contains no UAP observation.
