Key Integration Roles of CLDP Utilization Team

• JSC

• Payload Process Lead – Develops Payload Integration Lifecycle Flow and manages increment payload integration processing to ensure complement is on track. Chairs the Payload Integration Panel (TBC), and oversees CLD User Reps.

• CLD User Rep – Manages payload integration portfolio for a given CLD provider. Acts as the programmatic interface between the payloads team (PD/PI), science sponsor, Institute, CLD provider, and CLDP. Roughly equivalent to the role of an ISS Research Portfolio Manager.

• External Payload Interface Lead – CLDP expert on the CLD provider(s) external payload interfaces and capabilities, and assists both feasibility assessments and integration-related questions/actions.

• Pressurized Payload Interface Lead – CLDP expert on the CLD provider(s) pressurized payload interfaces and capabilities, and assists both feasibility assessments and integration-related questions/actions.

Key Integration Roles of CLDP Utilization Team

• MSFC

• Payloads Communicator (PAYCOM) – Payload Communicator present for real-time execution of NASA payloads, to ensure that the proper support and instructions/information is passed up to the crew. performing the investigation, and that the proper onboard information is communicated down to the utilization team.

• Research Action Manager (RAM) – The Research Action Manager is the real-time interface to utilization operations on the CLDs. This position participates in real-time mission planning and replanning, and is the real-time interface between the CLD Program and the Commercial Provider for utilization. This position also is the interface between the CLD Program and the Institute/science sponsors, and reports back to the CLD Program on statuses and actuals.

• Payload Operations & Procedures Specialist (POPS) – Works with the payloads team to develop operations products to support the successful execution of utilization activities, and supports real-time operations to guide the ground teams and crew through the activities as the NASA operations expert.

CLDP Utilization Boards/Panels/Working Groups

• Payload Research and Operations Control Board (PRO-CB) – The CLDP PRO-CB is responsible for establishing schedule, mission requirements, and processes related to integration and on-orbit operation of payloads. The board will provide a place for decisions about science and technology issues that arise across all phases of research implementation on CLDs.

• Payload Integration Panel (PIP) – The CLDP PIP is responsible for tracking detailed integration status of individual payloads and the complement of payloads that NASA is sponsoring to a CLD. The PIP will work to ensure appropriate resources and focus are on the payloads as they near key mission milestones. The PIP will also track mission milestones and ensure the community is aware of those dates or any modifications. The topics will be discussed and a recommendation elevated to the PRO-CB for decision.

• Research Planning Working Group (RPWG) – The CLDP Resource Planning Working Group (RPWG) works to identify a consensus on utilization tactical priorities and an implementation plan for the NASA allocation. If consensus cannot be achieved at the CLDP RPWG, the issue will be referred to the CLDP PRO-CB for a decision.
