## IGS Progress - A Quick Look...

- THE TEAM
- IGS Mission Implementation Team (IMIT) established.
- Some folks still not comfortable with my role as Operations Manager...
- EPGS and FDS support has been difficult due to CSOC impact.
- COST ESTIMATES
- Received excellent support for cost estimatation process for FDS, LZP, etc.
- No response yet for DAAC estimates.
- No response yet for EPGS S-band support.
- FDS estimates are very high - difficult due to CSOC impact.
- REQUIREMENTS DEFINITION
- Requirements documentation process has been slow - appears to be a cludge of DMR & MORD & PSLA, etc.  - Everyone has an opionion.
- Need to resolve SOMO/CSOC impacts soon in order to baseline the ground system.

## Activities Completed This Month

- Drafted MOC/FOT SOW + JOFOC + In-house cost estimate.
- Drafted IGS Mission Operations Requirements Document (IMORD).
- Chaired Flight Dynamics Requirements Working Group at University of Texas.
- Completed Flight Dynamics Requirements Draft.
- Solicted Cost Estimates (FDS, EDOS, DAAC, EPGS).
- Met with most IGS representatives (EPGS, EDOS, EBNET, FDS, CTV, SOMO/CSOC).
- Drafted IGS Implementation Plan (chart form) (includes organization, reporting, team identification, documentation tree, issues, schedule drivers, status reporting format, major interfaces, architecture, etc.).
- Solicited scheduling and PSR support from ESDIS.
- Prepared analysis & response to Ball’s MOC/FOT ROM.
- CLOUDSat formation flying meeting/telecon.
- Supported ISO 9001 Internal Survey (2 days).
- Prepared IGS Cost Estimates and SOW/Manpower estimates.
- Reported on Laser Flight Safety Analysis.
- Preparing draft PSLA for SOMO support.
- Supported 1999 POP discussions.

## Activities Planned for Next Month

- Establish Monthly IMIT Meetings.
- Schedule June MOWG II and prepare topics/agenda.
- Baseline IGS Architecture (summarize trades and ROMs.).
- Baseline SOMO/CSOC Support and release PSLA.
- Release IMORD for review by mission elements.
- Draft IGS Master Schedule.
- Prepare MOC/FOT Procurement Package.

## Budget & Cost Estimate Status

**Original Estimates (11/98)**

**Latest Estimates (2/99)**

- Not for public information.

## IGS Master Schedule - Line Item Elements to be Developed

- IGS Major Reviews & Milestones & Deliverables
- Line item each for:
- EPGS & WFF
- Ebnet & NISN
- EDOS
- SCF & ISIPS
- DAAC
- MOC & FOT
- FDS
- ISF & IOT
- L&EO Support
- IGS Testing, Simulations, Rehearsals

## IGS Schedule - needs to be reworked!

## Implementation Status

- NOTES:
- Y1:
- Control Center requirements levied by ESDIS not clear (security, interfaces, archiving, etc.).
- Cost estimates from Ball are higher than expected.
- Impacts of SOMO/CSOC are TBD -can’t release a contract change order until resolved.

## Mission Operations Status

- NOTES:
- none

## Top XX Open Issues Being Tracked

- NOTES:
- none

## Concerns

- Monthly Reporting Format - any comments or preferences?
- Funding for ISIPS not resolved.
- May impact progress of science software development.
- SOMO/CSOC Considerations - PSLA?
