A study and specification of a distributed fault-tolerant microprocessor system : an executive summary / authors: T. Gomi, M. Inwood ; prepared by: Eidetic Systems Corporation.: Co24-3/1-82-048E-PDF
"The early application of fault-tolerance to spacecraft was an expensive procedure. The burden it involved was only justified in deep-space missions where long-term survival was essential to the success of the project. Typically, systems were designed using well-proven technology which, by launch date, was becoming outmoded because of the lengthy development time. Thus each mission required a fresh start, with inevitable high development costs"--Introduction, page 1.
