Abstract

A glitch is usually a malfunction caused by a spike or change in voltage which takes place when the circuit suddenly has a new load put on it and which can cause a temporary setback. An early use of the term comes from US astronaut John Glenn, who in his 1962 book In Orbit explains a brief unexpected surge of electrical current. In Orbit was Glenn's reflections as the first person from the United States to orbit Earth as part of NASA's three-orbit Mercury-Atlas 6 mission, aboard a spacecraft named Friendship 7.
