November 7, 2001 2

Purpose & Scope

Purpose:Define the activities, roles and responsibilities associated with transitioning the software and operations responsibilities from Ball to other program organizations for the COS and WFC3 programs.

Scope:Transition plan covers the time period from instrument testing at Ball through on-orbit verification in sufficient detail to permit planning and acquisition of the resources necessary to be successful at each phase.

Gradual transition over multiple phases provides effective transfer

of knowledge

Phase List:1. Instrument integration and functional testing for

end-to-end system level verification

2. Environmental Testing & Calibration

3. VEST Testing

4. Servicing Mission & On-orbit Verification

November 7, 2001 4

Key Assumptions

COS:• Environmental test activities will be split between Ball and GSFC

• Thermal Vacuum testing at Ball, Acoustics & EMI at Goddard

• Funding will be available for approximately 3 Ball SW/Ops staff for a year after instrument delivery

• SI delivery date: November 2002

• Flight software maintenance & operations transition: after VEST

WFC3:• Instrument integration and functional testing phase will start in

Colorado and finish in Maryland

• Ball funded SW/Ops staff terminates support at delivery of flight detectors to Goddard (December 2002)

• SI delivery date: August 2002

• Flight software maintenance & operations transition: during Phase 1

Instrument Integration & Functional Test Phase

Phase Description:Instrument assembly completed with all flight components installed. In some cases surrogate assemblies may substitute for the flight parts. The phase is complete when system level functional testing and initial calibration prove compliance with CEI specification requirements.

Agency with Primary Responsibility & Location:COS: Ball will be responsible for these activities to be performed in Boulder CO.WFC3: Component electrical, mechanical and optical integration will be performed at Ball. Integration of flight detectors & optical bench with enclosure will be accomplished at Goddard.
