**CUSTOMER PAYLOAD REQUIREMENTS (CPR)**

# E.1 INTRODUCTION

This Customer Payload Requirements (CPR) plan begins the contractual
process and defines preliminary agreements between NASA/GSFC and the HH
customer concerning the unique information needed for the preparation,
flight and disposition of the payload. The general plans for the
handling of HH payloads are defined in the HH CARS Document
#740-SPEC-008 (formerly #HHG-730-1503-07).

Upon signature of this CPR plan, the payload customer agrees to meet all
applicable requirements, (i.e. mechanical, electrical and thermal
interfaces and deliverables, safety assessments and deliverables, etc.)
as specified in the HH CARS document, for flight as a HH payload. In
addition, signature of this CPR plan certifies that this payload
contains no items having commercial value to be used for commemorative
purposes and financial gain.

The CPR plan is considered a Quality Record as defined by ISO 9000 and,
as such, will become a controlled document within the NASA/GSFC HH
Configuration Management Office. It is not, however, intended as an
iterative definition of customer requirements. Therefore, no effort will
be made to update the CPR plan after initial approval.

Instead, customer requirements provided in the CPR plan 2will be used as
the preliminary input to all necessary documents required by the NSTS,
specifically the Payload Integration Plan (PIP) and associated PIP
Annexes. Thereafter, the PIP and PIP Annexes will be iterated to reflect
evolving customer requirements. Signature of this CPR plan by the
customer provides authority to the HH Mission Manager to represent the
payload customer in the review and approval of the PIP and PIP Annexes.

The PIP and PIP Annexes are maintained under configuration control at
NASA/JSC as part of the Flight Data File (FDF). Copies of these
documents are available to the payload customer upon request.

DESCRIPTION OF IDENTIFIED HAZARD(S):

### E3.5.1 Safety Matrix

The Payload Safety Matrix and Descriptive Data Form contained in
Appendix A, figures A.4, A.5, A.6 and A.7 should be used to provide an
estimate of payload safety hazards. The intent of the forms is to assist
in tabulating identified hazards associated with payloads and GSE.
Directions for preparing these forms are given in Appendix A, page A-10
for the Payload Safety Matrix and A-13 for the Descriptive Data Form.

# E4. MISSION OPERATIONS REQUIREMENTS

On-orbit operations are provided by the Mission Operations Manager using
the facilities of the GSFC Mission Operations and Data Systems
Directorate. The following information is necessary to determine the
support required for the payload. (All paragraphs apply to both HH and
HH-J payloads.)

## E4.1 Operational Scenario

Provide a more detailed description of your experiment operations.
Include overall mission operations as well as individual cycles such as
activation, outgassing, cooldown, warmup, door open, checkout,
calibration, data take and deactivation. Define the duration of each
phase. Include information on orbiter inclination, orbiter altitude,
orbiter attitude and whether operations must occur during orbit day or
night. Clearly identify which of these items are required vs desired.

## E4.2 Experiment Power

In Table E.6, provide power profiles for your equipment. Each phase of
your experiment operations should be included. The \"idle\" power
involves the powering of base equipment; base equipment is activated
once, at the beginning of the payload activation and draws power
continuously until the final payload deactivation. The \"nominal\" power
is considered the typical power dissipation during the actual experiment
data take phases of the operations; the \"peak\" power is the maximum
(short term) power dissipation during the experiment data take phases of
operations.

## E4.4 Experiment Commanding

### E4.4.1 Hitchhiker Customers

Describe your command methodology such as time tagged, sequenced and/or
realtime commands. Include a commanding timeline for each cycle. Command
times should be broken down into the smallest reasonable periods to
provide maximum flexibility with the orbiter and other payloads.
Identify any hazardous or time-critical commands.

### E4.4.2 HH-J Customers

Activation and deactivation of the payload will be via PGSC by a crew
member. The crew will activate the payload by setting relays K3 and K4.
If required, define which of the following commands need to be sent, at
what intervals, and in what sequence.

### E4.4.3 Critical Commands

Identify any critical commands which, if incorrectly transmitted, could
damage the payload.

## E4.5 Experiment Telemetry

### E4.5.1 Hitchhiker Customers

Your experiment telemetry (low rate, medium rate and/or video) is
described in Tables E.9 and E.10. Is the data continuous or packet-type
output? Produce a telemetry timeline for each cycle. How much telemetry
is required/desired for each cycle? How many hours total do you expect
to downlink data during the mission? Describe any data recording
capabilities as well as any need for dumping such data. Will the data be
dumped forward or backward? Are there any expected anomalies in the down
link data (i.e., timing jumps, burst data, fill data)?

## E4.10 Customer Supplied Ground Support Equipment (CGSE)

### E4.10.1 Hitchhiker Customers

The payload will require two customer-supplied and operated CGSEs. One
(the operations system) will provide control and display during
integration and test activities of the payload to carrier, system tests,
end-to-end tests, Joint Integration Simulations, and flight operations
at GSFC. The other (the test system) will support the functional tests,
CITE tests, and Orbiter IVT test at KSC. Table E.14 provides information
about the CGSEs. Diagram E.1 indicates the configuration of the CGSE and
the ACCESS both for testing and for operations.

### E4.10.2 HH-J Customers

The payload does not require a customer-supplied and operated CGSE.
Analog and/or temperature data collected during the mission will be
available post-flight.

OPERATIONS:

## E4.11 Payload Operations Control Center (POCC) Requirements

### E4.11.1 Hitchhiker Customers

Approximately how many people/positions do you intend to have in the
POCC during the mission? Identify the positions.

How many customer space units will you require? One customer space unit
includes:

1 3\' x 5\' table

2 standard outlets

1 video outlet port

1 data phone

1 call director (2 people can talk/listen)

1 color display unit

Identify any additional requirements not listed above.

Will you need additional space for non-operations personnel that will be
monitoring the mission?

### E4.11.2 HH-J Customers

POCC commanding and telemetry downlink of HH-J payloads is not
available.

## E4.12 Post-Mission Data Products

### E4.12.1 Hitchhiker Customers
