Code AT Statement of Work Overview

Janet Beegle Chief, Aeronautics Project Office

Projects and Programs Supported

The Code AT Statement of Work (SOW) defines the scope necessary to provide event production and project support capabilities and expertise to meet the requirements of NASA missions including:

• Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate programs

• Code A

• Code D

• Other organizations at ARC or NASA as needed within the constraints of the contract

Code AT – the Aeronautics Projects Office

The mission of Code AT is to provide the support needed for aeronautics research projects during all phases of a project. These projects are primarily related to air traffic management and address the development of processes, standards and technologies required to safely fly manned and unmanned aircraft in the National Air Space. These projects have participants from other NASA centers, other government agencies and industry partners. Consistency, communication and documentation are critical to the success of projects which are complicated and disbursed.

The FILMSS SOW task for Code AT is intended to provide certain elements of project support in this unique environment.

Outline of Code AT SOW – Section 6.4

6.4.1 Support for the Aeronautics Projects Management Teams

Care and feeding of project staff and processes

6.4.2 Development and Administration for the Analysis Planning and Tracking (APT) Suite of Project Planning Tools

6.4.7 IT Support for Collaborative and Virtual Meeting Technologies, Associated Websites and Web Applications

Provide the technical IT expertise required to build and maintain communications technologies

Contract Management:

Dynamic Nature of NASA projects

The overall contractor labor work force has shown to be relatively stable over a 5-year performance period.

However, research projects will be continually transitioning through their full cycle from development to execution and close out. Projects are started and cancelled in response to the research needs, funding availability and the performance of the projects. Specific labor skills/staff to be provided can vary over the life of the contract for the following reasons:

• The dynamic nature of the Research & Development

• The phase of a project being supported

• The duration of each project

• Shifting mission priorities of the Agency and Center over time

• Conferences and events will be scheduled according to the needs of each project and could overlap or have gaps.

Therefore, the contract must have built-in ability to adapt

Key Factors for Success in the Performance of the Code AT Task

With the software research and development projects being supported, a key factor for success is how the contractor is able to recruit, train and retain the required labor skills within this dynamic environment while meeting specific individual customer work package requirements, deliverables and due dates.

This will require flexibility and adaptability on the part of the contractor management team over the duration of the contract to successfully and continually meet customer needs.

Exploration & Science

As humans explore the Solar System, what questions remain for potential near-term destinations?

How can Science enable human exploration?

How can human exploration advance science?

After a decade of integrating lunar and exploration-related research, SSERVI is poised to play a central role in NASA's new lunar program.

SSERVI, formerly the NASA Lunar Science Institute, was founded in 2008 by the Science Mission Directorate (SMD) and Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate (HEOMD) to infuse science and technology developments into the NASA mission.

Today’s science and exploration challenges are being met by integrating interdisciplinary research to prioritize and resolve key knowledge gaps.

The institute supports human exploration and scientific discovery by creating an integrated whole, melding adventure with discovery as only NASA can.

Click to edit Master title styleScience example: Earth’s oldest Rock found on the Moon?

• SSERVI scientists at the Center for Lunar Science and Exploration (CLSE) (PI Kring, LPI-JSC) discovered what may be Earth’s oldest rock in a lunar sample returned by the Apollo 14 astronauts.

• The team developed techniques for locating impactor fragments in the lunar regolith, which led to researchers locating a piece of early Earth embedded in the Apollo lunar sample. The Apollo samples continue to be a treasure trove of new discovery potential.

• The 2 gram fragment of rock composed of quartz, feldspar, and zircon -

- all commonly found on Earth -- is highly unusual on the Moon.

Chemical analyses show the fragment crystallized in a terrestrial-like oxidized system, at terrestrial temperatures, rather than in the reducing and higher-temperature conditions characteristic of the Moon. The rock is over 4 billion years old.

• Pristine samples from early Earth could shed light on evolutionary conditions of the Earth-Moon system during the dawn of life.

• Research results were published in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters. The sample from Hadean Earth is the first find of its kind; fragments of Hadean Earth certainly peppered the lunar surface and other samples will likely be found with additional study.
