NASA Books Reveal Wisdom Gained from Failure

The latest in NASA Aeronautics' Book Series tells the stories of lessons learned from accidents involving remotely piloted or autonomous aircraft.

"Crash Course" chronicles the lessons learned from failures over the decades of remotely piloted or autonomous unmanned aircraft systems used by NASA, from Perseus to the X-36 and from subsonic to hypersonic speeds.

The Perseus-B remotely piloted aircraft, designed to fly at high altitudes, experienced several mishaps during the 1990s that provided valuable lessons to researchers.

"Breaking the Mishap Chain" focused on human factors involved in NASA aircraft or spacecraft failures.
