FOR DR FLAX FROM GENERAL MARTIN

DELIVERY AT 0800 FRIDAY 8 APRIL.

IN VIEW OF THE ESTABLISHED STATUS OF THE CORONA PR DISTINCT

1. REFERENCE YOUR 4 APR MEMORANDUM ON CORONA MANAGEME1111111121&66).

FROM THE INITIATION OF AN ENTIRELY NEW PROJECT) I BELIEVE THAT YOUR

PROPOSED MEMORANDUM FOR THE NRP EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE IS AVERY REASONABLE APPROACH.

I INDORSE THE PROPOSAL AS A WHOLE, BUT REQUEST YOLR CONSIDERATION

OF TWO CHANGES:

IF THE CORONA OPERATIONS COMMAND POST AT THE SATELLITE TEST

CENTER IS TO FUNCTION EFFECTIVELY, IT SHOULD BE ADEQUATELY STAFFED

DURING MISSIONS WITH ALL NECESSARY PERSONNEL AND REQUIRED INFORMATION

AND BE THE ONLY POINT OF WEST COAST CONTACT FOR THE SATELLITE OPERATIONS

CENTER DURING THE ACTUAL CONDUCT OF CORONA MISSIONS. THE PAYLOAD SUBASSEMBLY PROJECT OFFICE PERSONNEL AND CONTRACTORS REPRESENTATIVES

STATIONED AT THE COMMAND POST SHOULD NORMALLY ACCOMPLISH THEIR

FUNCTIONS AND ANALYSIS DURING CORONA MISSIONS IN THIS COMMAND POST,

UTILIZING OTHER WEST COAST FACILITIES AS NECESSARY. I RECOMMEND THAT

TIE WORDING OF THE FIRST PARAGRAPH AT THE TOP OF PAGE SIX BE OBINGED-----4 .7, •

TO MAKE THIS CLEAR BY DELETING THE L A ST. SENTENCE AND_ADDING. :1-ALL PAYLOAD 4' ..

I FUNCTIONS AND ANALYSES WILL NORMALCY BE ACCOMPLISHED IN THE CORONA ,1- i 4,,

COMMAND POST DURING CORONA MISSION. THE SATELLITE OPERATIONS CENTER t=' ,0ti

IN THE PENTAGON WILL NORMALLY DEAL PRINCIPALLY AND DIRECTLY WITH TP4. . .,

COI/DMA...MMUS POST AT THE STC DURING CORONA MISSIONS. •"---- ---

TWITUCT-PR0BI8IT1ON-OF-TNE. tPD OS HIS SE/TO CONTRACTOR

CONCERNING ENGINEERING IN THE PAYLOAD AREA IS NOT REALISTIC AND IS

INCONSISTENT WITH THE SPD RESPONSIBILITY FOR OVERALL SYSTEMS

ENGINEERING AND DEFINITION OF INTERFACES. I AGREE THAT NEITHER

THE SPD NOR HIS SE/TO CONTRACTOR SHOU LD GIVE ANY TECHNICAL DIRECTION

OR INSTRUCTION TO THE PAYLOAD SUB-ASSEMBLY PROJECT OFFICE CONTRACTORS.

I ALSO AGREE THAT THE SPO DIRECTION TO THE PAYLOAD SUB-ASSEMBLY PROJECT

OFFICE WILL CONCERN ONLY OVERALL SYSTEM ENGINEERING, INTEGRATION

(INCLUDING MASTER SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS), OVERALL SYSTEM MASTER PLAN •

SPECIFIED IN THE THIRD PARAGRAPH ON PAGE FOUR, HOWEVER, THE DEFINITION

OF INTERFACES REQUIRES ENGINEERING ANALYSIS OF ALL ASPECTS OF THE

PROHIBITED FROM MAKING ANY ENGINEERING ANALYSIS; THE RESTRICTION

....SHOULD BE ON DIRECTION WHICH MAY BE ISSUED, NOT ON ENGINEERING
