Mission operations systems engineering and software II

Added: Jul 05, 2011 5:20 pm NASA has awarded a five-year cost-plus-award-fee sole source follow-on contract toLockheed Martin Space Systems Corporation (LMSSC) for Mission Operations, SystemsEngineering and Software (MOSES-II) for the Hubble Space Telescope (HST).Under this contract, LMSSC will continue to maintain the health and safety of the HSTobservatory through the next phase of its science mission. The scope of this effortincludes conducting all elements of HST operations other than science operations, and toperform systems engineering tasks required to properly maintain HST flight and groundsystems. Mission operations responsibilities include safe and efficient control and utilization ofthe HST observatory, maintenance and operation of HST-unique facilities and equipment, aswell as creation, maintenance, and utilization of HST operations processes andprocedures. Critical systems engineering responsibilities consist of optimizing missionsystem capabilities to maximize HST operations effectiveness and science productivity.
