SRR Goals

SRR GOALSValidate the Mission Requirements Documentation

- Comprehensive : Do the requirements span the breadth of the effort?- Complete: Are there omissions in the requirements?- Correct: Are the requirements stated correctly?- Consistent: Do the requirements conflict anywhere?- Coordinated: Are the requirements allocated to subsystems

properly?- Verifiable: Are the requirements testable?- Necessary: Are any requirements redundant or unnecessary?

Promote Project-Wide Understanding of the Requirements- Understood: Do subsystems understand their requirements ?- Achievable: Are the subsystem requirements practical?

Processes

Risk ManagementUCB/Swales Management Taking Lowest Risk Approach Overall– Assessments Generated by Knowledgeable Engineering– Tradeoffs Discussed with PI for Disposition

Top Phase A Actions Taken to Retire Risk– Simplified Probe Carrier, Launch Sequence– Simplified Probe Maneuvering, Safing– Scheduled Early Testing to Detect Design Flaws– Dropped New Technology HCI and Micro-Gyro

Top Phase B Trades– Changing Probe CPU from 80C196 to Coldfire (GSFC recommendation)– Developed a Possible Larger Tank Configuration – Switched from PDFE to Amptek design of SST electronics Improved Margins and Performance and/or Lowered Risk

Resources

Resource Planning

Personnel– Similar to HESSI, Staffing Significantly from Internal and External Sources– Internal: Offloaded CHIPS Development Personnel– External: UC Personnel Hiring within Bay Area

Facilities– Space Physics Research Group is the Largest Group at SSL – Clean Rooms for ESA, SST and Instrument I&T are in SPRG Allocation– Centralized Parts Storage in Flight Parts Storage Room (Unique Sensor

Parts in Labs)

Test Equipment– IDPU has 2 GSE Setups Planned– Sensor GSEs Are Generally a Mixture of Redundant & Special Purpose

Risk Mitigations

Risk/Potential Impact Risk Mitigation in Design & Program PlanProbe Separation System Design

Probe to Probe & Probe to Probe Carrier Recntact 1) Redesigned PCA layout to provide more static clearance2) Performed extensive separation analysis for Phase A3) Conservative assumptions used in separation analysis4) Performed nominal and multiple off nominal analysis cases

Spacecraft Bus Avionics Unit DesignDelay in design & fabrication resulting in Schedule & Cost impact

1) Computation board design is based on heritage design (STEREO)

2) Power Control board design based on scaled down version of Swales PCE design (EO-1 & SMEX-Lite)3) Communication Board design based on SMEX-Lite design4) Outsource PCB Fabrication & Board Population to experienced qualified vendor.5) EDU BDU built and tested in Phase B

S/C Mass & Power MarginsMass and Power Growth Risk 1) PRO-E models used to develop structural mass & subcontracted component masses based on vendor data from flight

units currently in production2) Current Mass and Power Margins exceed 40% at Phase A for Probe Bus3) Detail power modeling with system designed for worst case eclipse.4) EDU BDU built and tested in Phase B

Spacecraft Long Lead TimesDelay in Probe 1 procurement resulting in Schedule & Cost impact

1) Swales has identified tanks that meet requirements and will CFE Tanks to RCS Integrator. (3 months after start of Phase B). We also have a backup stainless steel tank that could be used pending magnetic cleanliness and mass impact assessment. This will

- Propellant Tanks (critical path) 2) Swales to provide coordinated tooling & flight structure to RCS Integrator to minimize schedule - RCS Hardware Integration (critical path) 3) Several RCS proposals to choose from that meet schedule. (Have had face to face discussions with three vendors)

4) Critical path which is Propellant Tank & RCS integration has a 32 day (working days) float assuming a March 03 start.

- S Band Transponder 5) Have held face to face discussions with Transponder vendor on schedule.

THEMIS SRR MO-32UCB, July 8-9, 2003

Cost/Schedule

Probe & Probe Carrier• Mission Requirements & Instrument Interfaces well defined by UCB• Detail WBS generated for Probe & Probe Carrier. Work well defined by Subsystem

Leads and priced down to 5th level based on recent programs– NRE & RE well defined– Comparison/Analogy – EO1, FUSE & MAP– Detail Engineering/Grassroots

• Long Lead items have been identified and Major subsystem/components rely on hard quotes from prominent Industry suppliers

• Detail Mission Schedule developed & iterated with subsystem Leads in order to time phase costing

• Probe Carrier & Probe Structures costing relies heavily on Swales experience on Commercial Aerospace programs.

• GSFC Testing facility costs for Mission integration based on quotes from Mantech • Following completion of detail costing an assessment was performed using Parametric

techniques based on Aerospace Corporation Small Satellite Cost Model (SSCM 98). Results correlate between Swales detail costing and SSCM within 10%. See detail in Swales Cost Proposal!
