Engineering Mission Operations Support Services-IV Bridge

(EMOSS-4 Bridge) Training Plan

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This plan describes the training objectives, implementation methods, and training requirements for the engineers of the EMOSS-4 Bridge contract located at the NOAA

Satellite Operations Facility (NSOF) in support of the Mission Operations Division

(MOD) Satellite Operations Control Center (SOCC) in Suitland, Maryland.

1.1 Purpose

This document establishes the methodology, procedures, and requirements governing the

EMOSS-4 Bridge Training Plan for the launch, checkout, and on-orbit operations support for the NOAA satellites operated within the NOAA SOCC in Suitland, Maryland.

The purpose of the Training Plan, hereafter referred to as the Plan, is to mitigate risk and to enhance NOAA satellite mission success by ensuring a high skill level of EMOSS-4

Bridge contract personnel. This purpose will be accomplished by:

Ensuring that all EMOSS-4 Bridge contract personnel prior to being permanently assigned to a subsystem engineering position will achieve a uniform acceptable level of proficiency.

At the time of a launch, providing highly proficient EMOSS Flight Operations

Team (FOT) members to support the NASA Goddard Spacecraft Flight Center

(GSFC) Project Offices for the launch and checkout of all new NOAA satellite vehicles.

o Preparing highly qualified and competent EMOSS FOT team members ensures a highly proficient sustaining engineering capability after handover of any new NOAA satellite vehicles from NASA to NOAA.

1.2 Objectives

The purpose of this Plan is to prepare the EMOSS-4 Bridge contract engineers to interact with; analyze and assess performance of; and manage the performance of NOAA satellites in the SOCC environment. This will be accomplished through an organized training program for each individual member of the EMOSS-4 Bridge contract team.

EMOSS-4 Bridge contract personnel will be provided training during the core hours of the contract between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm daily, Monday through Friday. At the end of the training period, each EMOSS-4 Bridge engineer will be deemed qualified. The content of all training materials will be kept up-to-date to provide recurring training, qualification (to include testing, simulation, and demonstration of knowledge), and cross-training as well as initial training and qualification for new personnel.

- 8 -

Training is broken down into two components, (1) Core skills (skills required for the execution of daily functions) and (2) the on-going development of higher engineering skill sets and knowledge which comes through experience, exposure to mentoring provided by Leads and other engineers, and through a personal commitment to learning.

EMOSS-4 Bridge maintains a strong commitment to the continual development and increase of the engineering knowledge of its personnel through mentoring relationships.

This document describes the training and qualification plan of the Core skills component.

This Plan has been specifically designed to meet the following objectives:

1. To describe the Training Plan including:

i. Personnel Skill Requirements

ii. Initial Personnel Performance Evaluation

iii. Recurring Personnel Performance Evaluation

iv. Maintenance of Personnel Training and Evaluation Records

2. To delineate responsibilities for the training and periodic personnel readiness evaluation of EMOSS-4 Bridge personnel

3. To outline a training progression and qualifications for training in terms of requirements/standards

4. To establish policies and procedures for the Plan, including:

i. Training Responsibilities

ii. Methods, areas, and types of training

iii. Cross-training

5. To provide requirements for training material development including:

i. Core Skills On-the-Job training checklists

6. To provide a vehicle for maintaining updates to the Plan.

1.3 Scope

The Plan is applied to all EMOSS-4 Bridge contractor personnel responsible for NOAA satellite operations. Including any and all EMOSS-4 Bridge personnel required to support launches of any new NOAA satellite.

AB133E15CN0011 EMOSS-IV Bridge Extension contract and Statement of

Work

- 9 -

3.0 ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

3.1 EMOSS-4 Bridge Program Manager

The EMOSS-4 Bridge Program Manager is responsible for the engineering reliability of the EMOSS-4 Bridge contractor personnel, including the readiness of all EMOSS-4

Bridge contractor personnel for on-orbit satellite mission support as well as for launch support activities. As such the implementation, conduct, execution, evaluation, and completion of this Plan is a joint responsibility shared with the EMOSS-4 Bridge Lead

Engineers.

3.2 EMOSS-4 Bridge Lead Engineers

Authority for implementation, conduct, execution, evaluation, and completion of this

Plan is delegated from the EMOSS-4 Bridge Program Manager to the EMOSS-4 Bridge

Lead Engineers. The EMOSS-4 Bridge Lead Engineers are responsible for the day-to-day readiness and reliability of the EMOSS-4 Bridge contractor teams conducting analysis, trending, and anomaly response activities for the GOES, POES, JASON, MetOp, S-NPP, and DSCOVR satellite missions within the SOCC. As such, the

EMOSS-4 Bridge Lead Engineers are responsible for ensuring that each of their team members meets the requirements as specified in this Plan.

3.3 EMOSS-4 Bridge Systems Engineers

EMOSS-4 Bridge Systems Engineers are responsible for the initial training and mission support readiness/reliability evaluation in the event that the EMOSS-4 Bridge Lead

Engineers designate this activity or in the event that there is no overlap in personnel placement following attrition. The EMOSS-4 Bridge Systems Engineers will also assist the EMOSS-4 Bridge Lead Engineers in the re-qualification efforts for each EMOSS-4

Bridge Subsystem Engineer on a yearly basis. EMOSS-4 Bridge Systems Engineers also maintain an on-going training/mentoring relationship with their designated mentee

EMOSS-4 Bridge Subsystem Engineers.

3.4 EMOSS-4 Bridge Subsystem Engineers

EMOSS-4 Bridge Subsystem Engineers are responsible for the initial training of their replacement (in the event that there is overlap in personnel placement following attrition) and cross-training for mission support for each subsystem within a specific constellation, if directed by the EMOSS-4 Bridge Program Manager.

3.5 EMOSS-4 Bridge Mission Assurance Lead

The EMOSS-4 Bridge Mission Assurance Lead is directly responsible to the EMOSS-4

Bridge Program Manager. The EMOSS Mission Assurance Lead duties in the area of training will include: the collection, maintenance and update of instructional materials;

- 10 -establishing training program standards; and updating the EMOSS-4 Bridge Training

Plan; and version controlling the OJT checklists.

4.0 TRAINING FOR ATTRITION

During the tenure of the EMOSS-4 Bridge contract, it is anticipated that some personnel will require training and/or additional/new qualification to replace those leaving or moving on to new positions. This Plan will be used as an overall guide for each newly assigned member of the EMOSS-4 Bridge team.

5.0 TRAINING PHASES

All EMOSS-4 Bridge contract personnel will be provided formal phased training in accordance with this Plan. While an overview of each Training Phase is presented here in subsequent paragraphs, details of the Core Skills OJT checklists can be found within the Appendices of this Plan.

5.1 NOAA/OSPO/MOD Overview

A high level overview for new EMOSS-4 Bridge contract employees of the current operational NOAA satellite programs and ground systems will be provided. This orientation will also include a discussion of the NOAA/NESDIS/OSPO/MOD organizational structure as well as an overview of the NOAA/NESDIS/OSPO/MOD product customers.

5.2 Constellation Core Skills

Constellation Core skills are identified as the overall skills required for effective mission operations engineering of each satellite constellation. The Core skills have been identified by each of the EMOSS-4 Bridge Lead Engineers and are presented by the

EMOSS-4 Bridge Lead Engineers, EMOSS-4 Bridge Systems Engineers, or senior

EMOSS-4 Bridge Subsystem Engineers to a new hire, promoted personnel, or to a cross-trained contract personnel member.

5.3 Subsystem Core Skills

Subsystem Core skills are identified as the specific skills required for basic duties related to a specific satellite subsystem. Each EMOSS-4 Bridge Lead Engineer and each

EMOSS-4 Bridge Subsystem Engineer has identified the Core skills. The Core skills are presented by the EMOSS-4 Bridge Systems Engineers or the EMOSS-4 Bridge

Subsystem Engineers to a new hire, promoted personnel, or to cross-trained contract personnel. Subsystem Core skills are not presented until a defined level of proficiency is attained with the Constellation Core skills.

- 11 -

5.4 On-going Training

On-going training opportunities are offered to all EMOSS-4 Bridge contractor personnel throughout the contract period each year; such opportunities may include personal education pursuits, attendance at conferences, or any number of activities.

6.0 QUALIFICATION APPROACH

Overall program criteria for qualification of EMOSS-4 Bridge contractor personnel, as

“Mission Support Ready” will be predicated on the following factors:

1. Understanding of the current operational NOAA satellite missions

2. Understanding of specific spacecraft subsystems and/or instruments

3. Detailed knowledge of trending for specific subsystems and/or instruments

4. Response and resourcefulness demonstrated during contingencies or anomalies

5. Launch readiness and/or execution

6. Demonstration of proficiency and reliability

7. Demonstrated pursuit of continuing education requirement

It is assumed that any individual newly assigned to a position within the EMOSS-4

Bridge contract will have first been deemed qualified with respect to any prerequisite educational and experiential requirements for that particular position.

6.1 Initial Qualification

Initial qualification will be accomplished by the evaluation of the performance of each

EMOSS-4 Bridge Subsystem Engineer by the appropriate EMOSS-4 Bridge Lead

Engineer with input provided by the appropriately knowledgeable EMOSS-4 Bridge

Systems Engineers. This will take place upon the completion of the Constellation Core skills and Subsystem Core skills training. Upon completion of the training the EMOSS-4

Bridge Program Manager will be informed by the appropriate EMOSS-4 Bridge Lead

Engineer as to their evaluation and the status of the trainee.

6.2 Re-qualification

Annual demonstration of proficiency and reliability shall be required to maintain the

“Mission Support Ready” status of each EMOSS-4 Bridge System Engineer and

EMOSS-4 Bridge Subsystem Engineer. Evaluation of individual performance and demonstration of the pursuit of continued education shall accomplish this yearly re-qualification requirement.

The qualification of an individual’s “Mission Support Ready” status will be suspended if the appropriate EMOSS-4 Bridge Lead Engineer with the concurrence of the EMOSS-4

Bridge Program Manager determines that performance standards are not being met. At such a time, a remedial plan of action will be tailored for each individual on a case-by-case basis to address areas of deficiency.

- 12 -

7.0 CROSS-TRAINING

Cross-training plans will be established for each EMOSS-4 Bridge Subsystem Engineer within each constellation based on areas of comparable support. Therefore, subsystems that are heavily reliant on hardware will be matched with a like subsystem for cross-training and subsystems that are heavily reliant on software will be matched with a like subsystem for cross-training. For example matched subsystems would be POES ADACS and POES C&CS, GOES EPS and GOES COMM, and POES EPS and POES COMM.

Cross-training provides greater depth of coverage for each subsystem of a constellation in the event of anomaly support, anomaly resolution support, launch support, and gaps in personnel coverage due to leave or other unforeseen circumstances.

8.0 OJT CHECKLIST VERSIONING CONTROL

The EMOSS-4 Bridge Mission Assurance Lead will maintain version control of all OJT checklists. When a checklist is required to be updated the appropriate EMOSS-4 Bridge

Lead Engineer will request delivery of the latest version of that specific checklist from the EMOSS-4 Bridge Mission Assurance Lead. Once the update has been made the appropriate EMOSS-4 Bridge Lead Engineer will return the updated checklist to the

EMOSS-4 Bridge Mission Assurance Lead who will increment the version number, archive the older version of the checklist, and will publish the updated version of the checklist.

9.0 TRAINING PLAN IMPROVEMENTS

This Plan will be reviewed continuously through feedback from trainees, instructors, and supervisors. As a result of comments received, revisions or modifications to Core skills

OJT checklists will be implemented to ensure maximum effectiveness of this Plan and will be redistributed and/or published as required.
