The principles is important to follow since the engineers may have the ability to do good and eventually can also cause harm to the application made and indirectly affects the people and environment involved. The 8 important principles to adhere are public, client and employer, product, judgement, management, profession, colleagues and self.]]> 2019-03-05 08:44:44 UTC https://padlet.com/fflsobah/8rpnv1s02yb2/wish/337809770 Problem Background fflsobah https://padlet.com/fflsobah/8rpnv1s02yb2/wish/337818527 All spacecraft systems had been performing nominally until an abrupt loss of mission following the beginning of the Mars Orbit Insertion burnt up in the Martian atmosphere months after its launch on December 11, 1998.]]> 2019-03-05 09:26:33 UTC https://padlet.com/fflsobah/8rpnv1s02yb2/wish/337818527 Issues fflsobah https://padlet.com/fflsobah/8rpnv1s02yb2/wish/337818552 The engineers failed to convert units from English to metric. The software which controls the orbiter's thrusters calculated the force it needed to exert in pounds. Problem occur when another software took the data and assumed the data taken was in newtons.]]> 2019-03-05 09:26:39 UTC https://padlet.com/fflsobah/8rpnv1s02yb2/wish/337818552 Summary https://padlet.com/fflsobah/8rpnv1s02yb2/wish/338291727 NASA's Mars Climate Orbiter burned up in the Martian atmosphere is because of the failure of a engineer to convert units from English to metric. This failure also proves that the engineers lack of some ethics and profession practice that they need to have such as product, management, colleagues and also self principle. The main problem that cause the NASA's Mars Climate Orbiter burn up is miscommunication. ]]> 2019-03-06 09:37:36 UTC https://padlet.com/fflsobah/8rpnv1s02yb2/wish/338291727 Related Article and Problem Solving https://padlet.com/fflsobah/8rpnv1s02yb2/wish/338291986 The article entitled Metric Math Mistake Muffed Mars Meteorology Mission can be related to NASA Mars Climate Orbiter's article.
The article is related as the spacecraft burned up because of the lack of ethics such as product principle, management principle, colleagues principle and also self principle. 
To solve the problem of ethical lack such as product principle, software engineers should do the project according to the vale of the payment provided. Other than that, in management principle,  software engineers also should not make an assumption for the conversion that had been made and they also need to check conversion thoroughly as they have a miscommunication. ]]> 2019-03-06 09:38:53 UTC https://padlet.com/fflsobah/8rpnv1s02yb2/wish/338291986 NASA Mars Climate Orbiter METRIC MATH MISTAKE MUFFED MARS METEOROLOGY MISSION https://padlet.com/fflsobah/8rpnv1s02yb2/wish/338293112 Group members:
