I.0 INTRODUCTION

I.1 OVERVIEW

The International Space Station (ISS) Program Operations Description (IPOD) provides an across-the-board look at the ISS Program cost, schedule and technical baseline.

With assembly complete in 2010, the ISS Program’s current mission is to advance science and technology research, expand human knowledge, inspire and educate the next generation, foster the commercial development of space and demonstrate capabilities to enable future exploration missions beyond low Earth orbit. The IPOD includes the range of tasks required for the ISS Program to sustain and to operate the ISS with research utilization through December 2020, and final de-orbit in January 2021. Moreover, it includes all necessary steps to ensure that the ISS remains a viable and productive facility capable of potential United States utilization through at least 2028 with no steps that would preclude its continued operation and utilization by the United States after 2020. The baseline allows for full and robust utilization and supports National Aeronautics Space Administration’s (NASA’s) Exploration Mission. It provides a unique exploration test bed, accommodates all tasks required to honor Program commitments to the ISS International Partners, provides for Capability Upgrades to enable greater than three-person crew, and includes Multi-User System and Support (MUSS). It further provides procurement of commercial launch services (both cargo and crew) and integration of the Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV)/Orion for crew transportation.

I.2 PURPOSE

The IPOD describes the ISS Program content covered in the Program baseline. It is a description of Program content that should be viewed as attendant to, and fully consistent with, the formal Program budget as it relates to the most recent President’s Budget Request (PBR).

I.3 SCOPE

The IPOD represents a point in time as it relates to each Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution Cycle to reflect key Program changes. It describes the ISS Program content according to the formal Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) to the third level WBS. It provides a description of each element, resources allocated to achieve the content, key assumptions and risks, and any references pertaining to the WBS element.

I.4 ISS USOS TRANSPORTATION STRATEGY

The transportation vehicles currently available and operating are the Russian Progress and Soyuz, Europe’s Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV), the Japanese H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV), domestic commercially provided Space-X Dragon and Orbital Cygnus.

Both Commercial Crew Services and Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV) vehicles are scheduled to begin ISS missions in late 2017 when the ISS crew will increase to seven.

The ISS Program develops and implements a mixed fleet transportation strategy to mitigate any upmass shortfall resulting from the loss of any one vehicle/provider. The i-2 current United States On-Orbit Segment (USOS) Transportation Strategy utilizes barter vehicles from the International Partners and the Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) contracts.

The ISS resources, accommodations, and supporting services available to the USOS operations and utilization communities are maintained in SSP 54100, Multi-Increment Planning Document. Transportation schedules, USOS vehicle capabilities (in usable cargo), and USOS upmass/downmass requirements are contained in SSP 54100.

I.5 ISS USOS UTILIZATION STRATEGY

The ISS USOS Utilization Strategy is to assure safe, successful, integrated implementation of research performed on the ISS. This includes both NASA funded research and non-NASA funded research through the ISS National Lab, ensuring implementation of research priorities across the United States (U.S.) and International Partners (IP) laboratories. Research will be both in the pressurized and unpressurized environments across a variety of research fields including but not limited to astrophysics, heliophysics, Earth observation, materials, life sciences and physical sciences. The crew spends a minimum average of 35 hours per week on utilizations until Commercial Crew Systems are available. Once Commercial Crew Systems are available and USOS crew complement increases to four crewmembers, utilization hours will increase by an additional 33.5 per week totaling 68.5 hours per week. New and upgraded research facilities will be developed as requirements are identified by the research community.

I.6 RISKS

The risks associated with each WBS element are not inclusively detailed in the IPOD, but instead are recorded, tracked and managed formally through the ISS Program Integrated Risk Management Application (IRMA) and reviewed by ISS senior management at the Program Risk Advisory Board (PRAB). Reference the following link for a full and detailed understanding of the Program’s risk posture (https://iss-www.jsc.nasa.gov/cams/login.jsp?cams_login_config=ndc&cams_original_url=https%3 A%2F%2Fiss-www.jsc.nasa.gov%2Fss%2Fissapt%2Firma%2F&cams_security_domain=iss&cams_re direct_url=https://iss-www.jsc.nasa.gov/nwo/issprogram/home/web/iss_apps.xml).

I.7 ISS DECOMMISIONING AND RETIREMENT/CLOSEOUT (DARC)

At the end of ISS life, the Station must be decommissioned and disposed of in accordance with U.S. laws and International treaties. ISS research operations will continue until the end of Fiscal Year (FY)20 with final de-orbit planned for January 2021.

The decommissioning phase spans several months and begins with the suspension of altitude maintenance in January 2020. This saves propellant by allowing atmospheric drag to lower the orbit from an altitude of about 215 kilometers (km) so that a controlled de-orbit can be initiated in December. The primary function of flight crews, after research operations conclude, is to prepare the ISS for de-orbit.

i-3

It is expected that just prior to the end of altitude maintenance operations in 2020, the Russian Federation will separate the Science Power Module and the Russian Node from the Multipurpose Lab Module (MLM) nadir. The Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) will continue to operate these two modules in free flight as the initial hub of a future station. The remainder of the ISS will be disposed of in a single de-orbit operation after a one-year natural descent to low orbit.

The ISS end-of-life scenario includes final de-orbit performed by a designated vehicle through a series of large retrograde maneuvers at the apogee of the final few orbits.

One or more Russian Progress M standard resupply vehicles are designated as the vehicle(s) to conduct the final de-orbit, in cooperation with the Service Module (SM) main engines, and propellant supplies from Russian On-Orbit Segment (RSOS) tanks in Functional Cargo Block (FGB), SM, and MLM. The goal of the de-orbit maneuvers is to maintain vehicle integrity and control through the end of the final maneuver, whose result will lower the ISS perigee to a capture altitude of 70 km, whereupon high atmospheric drag will complete the de-orbit. The vehicle is expected to rupture and to fragment near 80 km, and to lose system integrity well above 100 km (see Figure i.7-1 ISS Decommissioning Scenario Overview). About 20-40% of the ISS vehicle is predicted to survive the extreme temperatures and forces of atmospheric entry and then fall harmlessly into a remote region of the Pacific Ocean.

The ISS Program will establish supportability plans that allow for functional degradation of other ISS capabilities and will curtail as appropriate the sustaining and logistics support for ISS systems in the years leading into the decommissioning/de-orbit. The emphasis of the plan will be to maintain capability for only as long as it is needed to safely build, operate, and utilize the permanent human outpost in space and then disposition of the capability or asset.

FIGURE i.7-1 ISS DECOMMISSIONING SCENARIO OVERVIEW

I.8 DOCUMENT STRUCTURE

The ISS IPOD is divided into six major elements, corresponding to the top-level structure of the ISS Program WBS.

1. Management Integration and Control;

2. ISS System Engineering, Analysis, and Integration;

3. Spacecraft;

4. Operations;

5. ISS Research;

6. Safety and Mission Assurance/Program Risk.

The WBS subdivides the Program’s work content into manageable segments to facilitate planning and control of cost, schedule, and technical content. Each element of the WBS provides logical summary points for assessing technical accomplishments, and for measuring the cost and schedule performance accomplished in attaining the specified technical objectives.

All of the subsequent numbered subsections correspond to the Program WBS down to the third level WBS, if it exists. The Program’s WBS can be found in SSP 50659, International Space Station Program Work Breakdown Structure.

i-5

SUBSECTION STRUCTURE

Each element in the IPOD has three standard subsections. The three subsections are designated with the section number appended with a letter “A” through “C”. The following list describes the information captured in each of the subsections.

A. Description - general overview describing the WBS element’s content and functions and its relationship with the other elements of the Program WBS;

B. Key Assumptions and Risks - This subsection identifies the underlying specific assumptions and any risks associated with the WBS element upon which requirements execution are conditional and are not already captured in the Program’s risk system;

C. Additional Supporting Documentation - This subsection includes references to other technical information pertinent to the WBS element.

The resources associated with each WBS can be found in Appendix D. The appendix includes Civil Service (Full Time Equivalent [FTE]), Contractor Workforce Work Year Equivalent (WYE) and Procurement dollars in million ($M).

The goal within each of these sections and with the resources appendix is to identify and explain the WBS element characteristics in a structure and level of detail consistent with the Program’s budget planning. The IPOD is written under the assumption that the Program continues to have very low-level task planning and work authorization processes to control Program execution. The IPOD, therefore, makes no effort to duplicate these details. Rather, the IPOD abstracts these details into a high-level description to give users a more global understanding of the general categories and characteristics of the ISS Program.

1.0 MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION

The ISS Program baseline is to operate through FY20 then to prepare and execute de-orbit of the ISS orbital elements in the first quarter of FY21. The Program Management functions required to operate successfully consist of Program Management, Business Management, Configuration Management (CM)/Data Integration, Information Technology (IT), and External Integration.

Program Management in this context encompasses the top-most level of activities necessary to plan and execute the Program. This includes support and coordination for all daily activities as well as writing, implementing, and maintaining all Program-level policies.

Business Management is responsible for providing the majority of the Program control functions including resources management, acquisition and contract management, assessments, cost estimating and Program schedules. These functions along with CM and IT are executed by the Program Planning and Control (PP&C) Office.

The CM function involves configuration identification, control of changes, status accounting, and configuration verification from ISS development through operation for the life of the Program. This includes establishing, implementing, and maintaining CM policies, requirements and guidelines for the ISS Program. This responsibility extends across all U.S. and IP elements.

The IT function involves providing the proper IT policies, products and services, to support the ISS Program mission and goals. This also includes the responsibility to serve as the ISS Property Custodian.

The External Integration function involves establishing, coordinating and maintaining interfaces with International Partners and non-NASA domestic partners/participants.

This includes academia, industry, and other government agencies; responding to external oversight and advisory committee and sole management for Education, Communication, and Outreach.
