14. What if something electrical in the spaceship fails? (A K2S Question)
From The Space Library
The electrical system is two-fault tolerant. That means that if one system fails, there are two backups available. While the backup is in place, fault detection isolation and recovery would be performed to determine the cause of the failure, its propagation—what other fault may occur as a result—and how to repair the failure.
