• The RPWG is responsible for producing cross-discipline research plans, priorities and trade-offs, and for transforming strategic plans into executable plans

• Plans are balanced to allow all research disciplines from all International Partners an opportunity to execute and optimize their required research

• Plans are designed to fit within the resource constraints (e.g., mass to orbit, crew time, power, training time, etc.)

• The Research Planning Working Group ensures cohesive, integratedresearch aboard ISS. It includes members from:

– CSA, ESA, NASDA, and Rosaviacosmos (observer participation)

– NASA’s Research Integration Offices for Physical Sciences, Bioastronautics, Space Product Development, Fundamental Space Biology, Space Flight, and Earth and Space Sciences

• The RPWG Members ensure that the Principal Investigators are represented and the priorities of each research discipline are adhered to

Payload Developers and Payload Integration Managers

• Principal Investigators’ level of interaction with their PayloadDevelopers varies widely

– Some Principal Investigators are also Payload Developers

– Many Principal Investigators interact primarily through their Payload Developer

• The Payload Integration Manager is the primary interface between the Payload Developer and the ISS Program

– Represents the Payload Developer to the ISS Program when it is advantageous to the Payload Developer

– Facilitates a direct link to a Program expert when most advantageous to the Payload Developer

ISS Payload Integration Philosophy

• ISS Payloads Office (ISSPO) based the integration documentation and the Payload Integration Manager (PIM) on the Shuttle model

– Payload Integration Agreements (PIA) and PIA Data Sets are the ISS equivalent to the Payload Integration Plan (PIP) and PIP Annexes

– Each ISS Payload is assigned a PIM to act as the primary point of contact for the Payload Developer (PD)

• The ISS documentation is designed to cover both the on-orbit and transportation phases (i.e., ISS and SSP)

– The Payload Tactical Plan for each increment contains ascent and descent requirements and on-orbit resource allocations

– The Pressurized Payload Interface Requirements Document (IRD) contains requirements for ISS Laboratories and the Multi Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM)

– The EXPRESS Interface Definition Document (IDD) contains EXPRESS Rack, EXPRESS Transportation Rack and Middeck IDD requirements

• The goal is to eliminate a dual process, one for Station and one for Shuttle– Unless the PD has unique Shuttle requirements, no interaction with the SSP is

required

March 2-4, 2004 MEIT-2004 / Section 3 / Page 15

ISS Payload Integration Philosophy (cont.)

• ISSPO has adopted the approach where facility owners are responsible for integrating the rack requirements– Subrack integration is the responsibility of the facility owner– Payload Integration Agreements with the ISS are cut at the facility level

• The EXPRESS Rack Project integrates the subrack lockers and drawers– The EXPRESS Rack Office (ERO) at MSFC assigns an EXPRESS

Payload Integration Manager (PIM) for each subrack payload– The EXPRESS Pallet and Window Observation Research Rack

(WORF) also integrate their sub-pallet and subrack payloads• The Principle Investigator’s (PI) interface with the ISS is through the

PD/facility developer; for example:– The Human Research Facility is comprised of the racks plus some

distributed hardware

March 2-4, 2004 MEIT-2004 / Section 3 / Page 16

ISS Payload Integration Philosophy (cont.)

• This philosophy requires the ISSPO documentation to cover all scenarios associated with ISS for both ascent and return

Increment Research Team (IRT)

• The Increment Research Team ensures proper connectivity with the research community during execution planning and operations.

• The IRT is modeled after the multi-discipline, long-duration structure of the Mir program

• For each increment, a Lead Increment Scientist is selected by the RPWG concurrent with Tactical Plan development

– Lead Increment Scientist is responsible for integrating the research on that increment and leads the IRT

– Represents research community to the Payload Operations Team, Payload Mission Integration Team, and Mission Management Team

– Dispositions (with the IRT) the changes proposed during the execution timeframe

– Coordinates research trade-offs

• The RPWG members select Increment Scientists to represent their specific discipline– Increment Scientists work directly with the Principal Investigators

– The Lead Increment Scientist and the Increment Scientists form the Increment Research Team

• The IRT meets weekly prior to, and daily during, the Increment

• This team can accommodate late replanning when resources are freed up, or when a late change in research requirements is encountered

• Principal Investigators and Payload Developers provide training directly to the crew when necessary

– The crews have been very eager to receive research training

• Training time is scarce, so some research training is compressed and delivered by professional trainers

• Before training can begin, procedures and displays for the investigation must be available

• On-board computer-based training has proved to be valuable in several cases, both as refresher and first time training

• Although research training has been sufficient, both the crew members and investigators desire more

• Training opportunities have increased by conducting them in two phases– Investigations already on orbit are trained early

– New investigations are trained later

Research Planning and Execution Principles

The Research Planning and Execution processes accomplish the following:

• Allow close Principal Investigator involvement in every step that affects his or her research

• Allow autonomy to each organization to ensure that they have flexibility to implement research specific to their unique Principal Investigator’s requirements

• Account for the international distribution of research

• Follow the strategic priorities

• Ensure connectivity from strategic planning through execution and operations for all disciplines

– Decisions on one Principal Investigator’s investigation on one increment may affect long-term strategy of one or many other disciplines

• Account for research investigations that spread across several increments

• Account for re-planning of research across and during increments

• Are streamlined to allow quick decisions during operations

• Avoid any conflict of interest

Increment Research Team

Summary

• Principal Investigators are involved throughout the process

• Special effort is made to balance the investigator’s direct involvement– Assure investigators’ direct involvement when beneficial to them

– Minimize the burden on investigators’ time and resources when direct involvement is not necessary

• Feedback from the Investigators shows we are improving– Earliest increments were very burdensome

– Recent increments have significantly improved
