## IGS Progress - A Quick Look...

- THE IGSMIT TEAM
- IGS Mission Implementation Team (IMIT) established.
- COST ESTIMATES
- Completed Goddard FDS cost estimates (still way to high)
- Received S-band/X-band ground station estimates for PTP/SAFS.
- Received ISIPS Level Zero Estimates from Science
- EDOS provided very detailed cost estimates.
- No insight into DAAC estimates.
- IGS BASELINE
- EDOS does L0 X-band processing and S-band Play-back handling.
- ISIPS does all L1 & L2 data production.
- New DAAC/EDOS/ISIPS architecture defined.
- MOC/FOT/FDS still TBD (pending CSOC vs. Ball Aerospace competition).

## Activities Completed This Month

- Released MOC/FOT/FDS PR package (+ JOFOC) to CSOC and to Ball Aerospace.
- Note:  RFP only for L+3 years operations.
- Evaluating CSOC MOC/FOT/FDS Proposal.
- Mission Operations Requirements Document (IMORD) being reviewed by IGSMIT.
- Held IGSMIT Kick-off meeting and first monthly team meeting (April).
- Established monthly working schedule, including Mission Ops, Science Ops, Networks, and I&T Splinter Working Groups (based on Menrad’s LSAT lead).
- Met with all IGS representatives (EPGS, EDOS, EBNET, FDS, DAACs, CTV, SOMO/CSOC, etc.) to solicit and confirm support for IGS implementation.
- Established Mission Operations section on the ICESat Homepage.
- http://icesat.gsfc.nasa.gov/
- Established process for IGS documentation, master schedule development, & status reporting.
- Attended QuikSCAT Delta ORR at GSFC.
- Prepared draft PSLA for SOMO support (excluding MOC/FOT/FDS - TBD).
- Drafted new MSR Milestones but still need inputs from most mission elements.

## Activities Planned for Next Month

- Schedule July MOWG II and prepare topics/agenda.
- Baseline IGS Architecture.
- Evaluate Ball’s MOC/FOT/FDS Proposal.
- Baseline SOMO/CSOC Support and finalize PSLA.
- First revision of MORD.
- Draft IGS Master Schedule with inputs from each mission element.

## Action Items levied on IGSMIT - FYI

- SHORT TERM
- Draft schedule (see schedule handouts)- 5/3/99.
- Draft Documentation List (see Master DOC list Handout) - 5/3/99.
- MORD comments (see MORD on Homepage) 5/3/99.
- May, 1999 PSR Inputs using templates (see PSR Templates) - 5/24/99.
- Support Splinter Working Groups as needed monthly.
- Sign up for IGSMIT list-serve.
- Everyone surf the ICESat Web Sites to get up to speed.
- LONG TERM
- Begin MOWG II thinking, ideas, duration, topics, etc. - July 13-15, 1999.
- Plan for Mission Operations Review (MOR) 12/99.

- Milestones require element input.

## Implementation Status

- NOTES:
- Y1: Control Center procurement delays will reach red status level if not awarded in June, 1999 (L-24).  There are not FOT members named, thus the learning curve is getting steeper each passing day.  Risk level due to time spent on SOMO/CSOC is high.
- Y2:  Data ICD is in draft form.  Pending inputs from GLAS APIDs and submission by Ball (this is a Ball doc.  Effects the initial work of EDOS and ISIPS.
- General:  Need inputs from each mission element for schedule, milestone, and requirements - no response yet from IGSMIT members.

- G = green = blank = no problems
- Y = yellow = alert to minor problem or developing condition
- R = red = major problem that requires immediate attention

## Mission Operations Status

- NOTES:
- none

- G = green = blank = no problems
