Unit errors
NASA launched the Mars Climate Orbiter in 1998 to study changes in the Martian atmosphere and climate. In September 1999, NASA lost communication with the orbiter as it was performing an orbital insertion above Mars. It was later discovered that a piece of software provided results in non-SI units when the specifications sheet and software receiving the calculations expected the results in the SI units. The orbiter crashed into ...
