Control System, Environmental Control and Life Support System, Electrical Power System, etc.); however, is not critical to core system functionality, does not provide system critical functions, does not impact existing system operation or interfaces, and is not required for the subsystem to operate per requirements. May be used to augment existing capabilities and/or provide additional information for the overall health of the system. Examples include:

air save pump, hand-held monitoring devices, data loggers, and portable fire extinguishers.

J-A1-19

Support Equipment An item required to transport, access, handle, protect, service, or verify a qualification/flight item. Equipment included in the category of Support Equipment is GSE, FSE, OSE, and Operations

Items.

Sustaining

Engineering

Sustaining engineering is defined as the essential engineering required to maintain the integrity of the design and ensure operability of hardware and software. Sustaining Engineering is categorized by tasks required for mission preparation, ground operations, mission execution, and generic tasks. Sustaining engineering includes: performance and anomaly analysis and resolution; maintenance of analytical models; development of hardware and software modifications; and configuration management of both flight and non-flight hardware and software.

System One or more equipment items and their interconnecting elements serving a common purpose.

Tactical Period of time from two years until implementation phase or “real-time.”

Technical Data Recorded information, regardless of form, used to define, produce, test evaluate, modify, deliver, support, maintain, or operate a configuration item. Technical data may be recorded as: graphic or pictorial delineations in media such as drawings, electronic models or photographs; text in specifications or related performance or design type documents; in machine forms such as punched cards, magnetic tape, disks, computer memory printouts or computer memory. Examples of technical data include, but are not limited to, engineering drawings and associated lists, specifications, standards, process sheets, manuals, technical reports, catalog item identifications, commercial item descriptions, logic diagrams, flow charts, and minutes of technical reviews and configuration audits.

Research and engineering data are included, but financial and administrative data are excluded.

Technical

Interchange

Meeting

Meetings between two or more technical teams to exchange information, develop processes, and work issues.

Turnover (Cargo) Cargo turnover is the process of handing over packed cargo to the

Next Level Integrator (NLI). At the completion of cargo turnover, the NLI assumes responsibility for the cargo.

Unexplained Anomaly An anomaly that cannot be repeated (phantom or ghost) or for which a cause cannot be determined.

Uni-lateral Any action involving only one (1) party.

J-A1-20

Unique Launch and Return

Mission Requirements

Special accommodation/handling, analysis, and/or supplemental (or substitute) hardware requiring fabrication/execution to meet existing flight milestones and mission objectives (examples: build and integrate an unpressurized payload mass simulator to prevent a significant launch slip, fabricate and/or install mounting shims, install wire ties, re-route cables, etc.).

United States On-Orbit

Segment (USOS)

An Earth orbiting facility which houses experiment payloads, distributes resource utilities, and supports permanent human habitation for conducting research and science experiments in a microgravity environment. The USOS supplies the ISS with services and capabilities as specified in SSP 41162.

Unpressurized Cargo

Integration

Unpressurized Cargo Integration is defined as the processing of unpressurized cargo, from receipt of the manifest through the integration and analytical integration processes to the performance of physical integration and de-integration.

Unpressurized Cargo

Transport Hardware

Hardware used to launch unpressurized cargo to orbit and/or store unpressurized cargo on orbit. Includes items such as flight support equipment, on-orbit stowage platforms and adaptor plates.

Unserviceable Item Item not capable or ready to perform its intended function, usually requires overhaul and, or repair and calibration and test.

Update A revision to incorporate “lessons learned,” corrections or other improvements.

Use To employ an item of hardware, firmware, or software to perform specific functions or meet identified requirements.

User An organization or individual requiring the services of a system or item of equipment.

Validation The process of formally approving the developed process, services, or products at the conclusion of operational test and evaluation.

This approval indicates developed processes, services, or products satisfy their intended operational mission.

Vehicle The vehicle includes the whole, integrated, on-orbit station

(including hardware and software) as it exists today and in future station configurations as it evolves to the assembly complete configuration. The vehicle configuration is defined by the particular point in time under assessment or discussion. NOTE:

Vehicle is not limited to the on-orbit station, it is applicable to the unmanned or manned means of transport.

Vehicle Master Database The Vehicle Master DataBase (VMDB) is the authoritative source of engineering and operations data for the ISS Program. The

VMDB tracks all parts and part resources that are used in the ISS.

Vendor An open market or established commercial source to obtain end items.

J-A1-21

Verification A process that determines that the hardware and software systems meet all design, performance, and safety requirements. The certification process includes analysis, test, inspection, demonstration, or a combination thereof.

Verify Review of recorded data (inspection, test, etc.) for conformance to specifications, drawing requirements, etc.

Virtual A process that does not require the physical presence of the participants but provides them with the same data and, or information that would otherwise be available if they had been present.

Visibly Clean The absence of all particulate and non-particulate visible to the normal, unaided (except corrected vision) eye. Particulate is identified as matter of miniature size with observable length, width, and thickness. Non-particulate is film matter without definite dimension.

Visiting Vehicle Vehicle that docks/berths to the ISS for a period of time.

Voting Member A participate in a process or board where the participant has a right to vote for or against a new requirement or a change in the process.

Waiver A written authorization, granted for a one time technical requirement noncompliance granted after the fact, for use or acceptance of an article or to perform an action which does not meet specified requirements. (Reference Deviation)

Work Authorization

Document (WAD)

An approved written communication that identifies/directs work to be performed, and provides the detailed instructions necessary for accomplishing a task, and records accomplishment of the task.

Work Breakdown Structure

(WBS)

A product-oriented hierarchical division of the hardware, software, services, and data required to produce the program/project’s end product(s), structured according to the way the work will be performed, and reflective of the way in which program/project costs, schedule, technical and risk data are to be accumulated, summarized and reported.

Work Day (s) Monday through Friday, except for observance of legal holidays.

For example, October 2017 has 21 work days.
