# 1.  Introduction

This document, Mission Operation Procedures for the Version 2 Release
2.0 system for ECS, provides Maintenance and Operations (M&O) procedures
to configure, maintain and operate the Version 2 Release 2.0 ECS system.

## 1.1 Identification

This document meets the milestone specified as Contract Data
Requirements List (CDRL) Item 117, DID 611/OP3 under contract NAS5-6000.
It reflects the ECS as delivered at Version 2 Release 2.0.

## 1.2 Scope

The scope of this document is directed to DAAC M&O activities to support
the Version 2 Release 2.0 ECS system. Both procedures and instructions
are identified. Operations procedures are defined as the step-by-step
commands or on-line procedures needed to perform a function. The
Operations Instructions are the off-line procedures or directives for
performing administrative, operations, management or operations support
activities, e.g., Configuration Management, Problem Management,
Performance Reporting, etc.

**1.2.1 On-Site Procedures Tailoring Guide**

Each DAAC may modify these procedures and instructions to accommodate
site-specific M&O requirements. Such documentation should be edition
dated in Word format with a master copy forwarded to SEO System
Engineering. Specifics on authoring, formatting, importing, exporting
and maintenance see Chapter 20, Library Administration.

## 1.3 Purpose

The purpose of this document is to identify the procedures and
instructions to operate and maintain Release B systems. In addition,
DAAC staff responsibilities are identified. The DAAC M&O staff is
comprised of operators, engineers, as well as operations support,
administration and management staff personnel.

This document will also be used as a training aid for M&O staff who are
located at the sites. The operations procedures and operations
instructions were derived from, and are intended to be consistent with,
the system functions and capabilities specified in the ECS design
specifications and the operations activities described in the ECS
Operations Concept Document.

## 1.4 Status and Schedule

This document is to be delivered at CSR minus two weeks. Updates will be
made to reflect subsequent system releases. Changes will be submitted
through established configuration management procedures, such as
document change notices or published revisions.
