INTRODUCTION 

The potential need for additional capability to support attached payload operations 

had been recognized based on the available capacity of the Johnson Space Center (JSC) 

Payload Operations Control Center (POCC) and the identified manifest. The JSC POCC 

was configured for single mission support and a dedicated three month period for 

supporting mission-unique configuration including integration of Electrical Ground 

Support Equipment (EGSE), testing, simulations and training for a full Spacelab 

mission was placed as a requirement. This limited the JSC POCC to the support of up 

to four full Spacelab missions per year, although the potential for supporting 

several other less complex missions using available POCC and other JSC capability was 

not precluded. In fact, utilization of the Mission Control Center (MCC) for the 

support of several non-Spacelab payloads has heen proposed and is being implemented 

for specific missions. 

The POCC requirements for supporting the Office of Space Science (OSS)-3 through -7 

missions had previously been evaluated by the Engineering and Economics Research, 

Incorporated (EER). It was determined that support of these missions via the JSC 

POCC would not have been possible based on the traffic model. In particular, the 

need to support reflights of the payload within a period as short as three months 

could have necessitated maintaining the POCC configuration over this period. A 
Remote Operations Center (ROC) concept had been developed to provide thP required 

support, where this concept utilized an augmentation of existing Goddard Space Flight 

Center (GSFC) capability. n1is concept provided additional support capability to 

that provided by the JSC POCC, but was only suitable for the support of OSS-3 class 

payloads, since the capability to handle the potential complement of payloads and 

data rates of a more complex or full Spacelab mission was not provided. It should be 

noted that subsequent to the transfer of management responsibility for the OSS-3 

through -7 missions to the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) the missions were 

renamed ASTRO. 

In the definition of the functional requirements for the Attached Payload Operations 

Center (APOC), the support requirements for the ASTRO payloads were an initial 

driver. However it was recognized that the GSFC had a potential need to support a 

range of attached payloads for which the Center was assigned management 

responsibility. In particular, these included the Solar Optical Telescope (SOT), 

OSS-2 (subsequently ~enamed the Shuttle High Energy Astrophysical Laboratory (SHEAL) 

payload), the Environmental Observation Mission {EOM)-A, and Starlab. The EOM-A 

missions have now been assigned to the MSFC. Slarlab was originally proposed for 

configuration on up to two attached missions using the Spacelab with subsequent long 

duration flight on a space platform. Consideration was given to utilization of 
Leasecraft to provide the platform support capability and current direction indicates 

that Leasecraft will now be utilized for initial Starlab missions. 

The APOC concept was developed to provide support for ASTRO class payloads with 

consideration given to other payloads assigned GSFC mission management 

responsibility. However, the evaluation of the JSC POCC support capability assumed a 

larger emphasis based on concerns for its support capacity, development cost and high 

sustaining cost. In particular, the Spacelab Mission Integration Cost Assessment 

(SMICA) group was charged with the responsibility for evaluating the overall Spacelab 

support with particular emphasis on cost. The SMICA POCC working sub-group, a segment of this group, was given specific responsibility for evaluating the overall POCC 

support for attached payloads. In this context, the various options including utilization of the JSC POCC with possible expansion of its capability. augmentation of the 

JSC POCC capability with development of one or more remote facilities, or replacement 

of the JSC POCC with one or more facilities capable of meeting the manifest was 

considered. In this regard, remote facilities at the GSFC, MSFC and/or Kennedy Space 

Center (KSC) were all potential candidates, where the APOC represented the GSFC 

approach to satisfaction of this requirement. In the conduct of this evaluation, the 

JSC provided revised assessments of the JSC POCC capability including a redefinition 

of the dedicated support requirement as two months with a total capacity of six full

.
Spacelab missions per year. This revised capacity was utilized as a groundrule in 

the definition of APOC support requirements. 

The APOC concept as developed has two potential configurations; an interim capabil~ty 

for supporting ASTRO class payloads and a final capability for supporting the complete attached payload manifest as defined by the National Aeronautics and Space 

Administration (NASA) Headquarters. The formulation of the concept with the 

associated functional requirements in this manner provides a significant benefit, 

since it allows the development of the APOC, if directed by NASA Headquarters, t~ be 

undertaken to meet either GSFC assigned payloads or overall attached payloads support 

requirements. 

The APOC concept and associated functional requirements are presented in this volume. 

The information has been structured to provide a management oriented overview 

followed by detailed functional requirements and required schedule, cost and manpower 

resources needed for development and operation of the facility. MOre detailed 

information on data flows and operational scenarios for the APOC are contained in 

Volume II. 
' 

This volume contains the following major sections: 

a. Background and Assumptions 

A management overview of the APOC functional requirements and design are 

presented. This overview presents the rationale for developing the APOC 

concept and the assumptions utilized, and provides a summary of the concept 

complete with major functional areas and associated data flows. The 

attributes of this concept are formulized and the necessary resources needed 

for its development and operation presented. 

b. POCC Capabilities. 

The existing capability for supporting non-Spacelab payloads at the GSFC is 

defined. A summary of the requirements necessary to support operations from 

the APOC is provided followed by a detailed definition of the requirements 

for the APOC functions. Configurations for supporting both ASTRO and full 

Spacelab payloads are presented. The proposed utilization of the APOC to 

support the manifest and a loading analysis showing required capability is 

shown. 
" 

c. Software 

An analysis showing the various functions to be supported, the total lines 

of code required, the code available and the changes needed for the implementation of the APOC are presented. 

d. Hardware 

The existing and new hardware required for the development of the APOC are 

presented. An evaluation of the hardware available from the JSC POCC. if a 

decision were made to breakdown this facility is shown, although utilization 

of JSC POCC hardware for the APOC implementation is not proposed. 

e. Schedule 

The APOC development sched11le is presented based on the proposed phase-in of 

APOC capahility to support the manifest. 

f. Cost and Manpower. 

Detailed cost and civil service manpower requirements are presented for APOC 

development and sustaining and mission-unique operation.
