Apollo Lunar Module (LEM)This pages gives some general information regarding redundancy for the LEM. Just 'Ctrl'+'f' and search for redundancy. The points may need some further research and expanding though.

Submission Requirements
When you submit your work it needs be have the following features (you can get more details from NZQA here):
- Candidate’s NSN written correctly on the top right hand corner of the first page (you can put it in the document header)
- Fewer than 10 pages single sided
- A4 size
- Font size must be set at the rough equivalent of Arial 12
- Margins must be set at the rough equivalent of 2.5 cm all around (top and bottom, left and right)
- Reports must be securely stapled in the top left-hand corner
- All information from sources other than the candidate’s own work must be acknowledged at the place in the work that the information is used. It must be immediately apparent to the marker that the material is not the candidate’s own
Suggested Report Structure
- Title: AS91360 Demonstrate understanding of redundancy and reliability in technological systems
- Describe what reliability is and how redundancy affects it. Also talk about how the LEM has to be reliable as opposed to repairable or maintainable, this is due to the environmental factors and that it is a one use system (see the merit exemplar).
- Describe what redundancy is maybe give an example of jet engines on a passenger jet (see the excellence exemplar)
- Describe what your technological system is, what it did, when it was used, how many they made, how many went to the moon, how many were successful (what this says about their reliability).
- Give at least 3 specific examples of redundancy and how it affects reliability
- Give at least 3 specific examples of reliability
Make sure you read the last page of the Student Task booklet. It goes into more depth explain what needs to be done for each level of grade (N, A, M & E)
