responsive .s.nd· responsible through him to the DNRO for the total 

sensor subsystem development and production and to the SPD for 

overall system matters, as set forth below. 

SPECIFIC S~STE~ RESPO~SIBILITISS: 

The Director of Special Projects, SAF, as S?D, is"res?onsible

specifications) and system integration (including subsystem 

interface specifications); overell system master planning, programming, and budgeting; assembly and check-out of the syste:n c:.t 

the launch pad; launch and mission operations; capsule recovery 

and delivery of £ilrn to DNRO-designated processing facilities. 

In addition, the SPD is res?onsible .for: the development 

and production of.the spacecraft (as defined in the SOR and R~?); 

the RV subsystem; the stell~r-ind2x canera subsystem; the booster; 

and the acquisition ana ope~ation of system assembly/launch 

facilities, on-orbit cor~~and and control facilities, and capsule' 

recovery forces and equipments. 

In the exercise of all his assigned responsi~ilities, the 

SPD is -charged with taking into account the sensor subsystem 

requirements in. accordance with the technical ar.d rc .. anagement 

arrangements defined herein. 

The Di:rector, SSS?O, is :respou.sible th:rough t~J.e Di rec to:;: of
