Mission degradation refers to the diminishing of a spacecraft's or satellite's performance over time due to various factors such as exposure to space radiation, mechanical wear and tear, or limitations of onboard systems. It can negatively impact the ability of the mission to achieve its objectives and may eventually lead to the spacecraft's failure. Various strategies, such as regular maintenance or operational adjustments, are often employed to mitigate mission degradation and prolong the lifespan of space missions.
Status degradation refers to a decline in one's social, professional, or personal standing. It can occur due to various factors such as a loss of reputation, a decrease in authority, or a lapse in performance. Status degradation can have negative effects on relationships, opportunities, and self-esteem.
A degradation reaction is a process where a compound is broken down into smaller components. This can occur through various mechanisms such as hydrolysis, oxidation, or enzymatic degradation. Degradation reactions play a crucial role in catabolic pathways, where large molecules are converted into simpler molecules to release energy.
The total process of land surface reduction is called land degradation. It refers to the decline in the quality of land, including its productivity, due to various factors such as deforestation, soil erosion, and pollution. Land degradation can have negative impacts on ecosystems, agriculture, and human livelihoods.
Factors affecting land degradation include deforestation, unsustainable agriculture practices such as overgrazing and excessive pesticide use, urbanization, soil erosion, and climate change. These factors can lead to loss of vegetation, soil fertility, and biodiversity, resulting in reduced land productivity and ecosystem degradation. Managing these factors through sustainable land management practices is essential to prevent further land degradation.
Common causes of soil degradation include deforestation, overgrazing, agricultural practices such as excessive tilling and heavy pesticide/fertilizer use, urbanization, and industrial activities. These activities lead to soil erosion, nutrient depletion, salinization, compaction, and contamination, ultimately reducing the soil's ability to support plant growth and ecosystem functions.
High Risk is defined as significant degradation of mission capabilities.
To minimize the loss or degradation of resources
This is one definition of a hazard.It is "any real or potential condition that can cause injury, illness, or death to personnel; damage to or loss of equipment or property; degradation of mission capability or impact to mission accomplishment; or damage to the environment."
