However, mission assurance includes the combined application of system engineering, risk management, quality, and management principles to achieve success of a design, development, testing, deployment, and operation process. Mission assurance is the measure by which an organization, supply chain affiliate, and other business partners are able to meet the criteria set forth by the mission, with an ultimate goal to create a state of resilience that supports the continuation of an organization’s critical business processes, protects its employees, assets, services, and functions, and appropriately satisfies the mission and established organizational objectives.

As mentioned earlier, GSFC’s history of success has produced a “cannot fail” culture and a barrier against change, especially when it comes to the core activities considered to be essential to mission success, such as systems engineering and safety and mission assurance. Furthermore, the discussion of implementing risk-based approaches has brought about confusion with earlier approaches such as “faster, better, cheaper” (NASA OIG 2001) and interpreted to imply that more risk will be taken. The difference in the transition to a risk-based approach today is that it is based on rigorous risk assessment and a substantive comparison of alternate approaches, as opposed to a blind elimination of processes based on an assumption that they are costly.
