A safety-critical system is a system whose failure endangers the safety of lives or the environment
whereas for a mission-critical system it results in a failure to fulfil the system’s purpose.
Failure in a safety-critical system may result in injury, loss of life or major environmental damage.
E.g., a control system for chemical manufacturing plant, nuclear reactor management system (e.g.
SHOCK II), flight control system (auto-pilot), and sewerage control system.
Failure in a mission-critical system may result in the failure of some goal-directed activity. E.g., a
navigational system for a spacecraft, rocket-launcher system, probes to Mars.
