THEMIS Status
•Selected for Phase A: April 17, 2002
•Selected for Phase B: March 20, 2003
•PDR – peer: Oct 8/9/15/16, 2003, Mission PDR: Nov 13-14, 2003
•Confirmation Readiness Review – [Original: Dec’03] GSFC, Feb 4, 2004
•Confirmation Review – [Orig. Dec’03] Attempt: HQ, Mar 4, 2004 (Aborted)
•Confirmation: April 22, 2004
–GSFC direction to further reduce I&T schedule risk
–Developed better I&T flow, validated by GSFC Engineering
–Developed 2 month slack in I&T flow, pushing launch to 10/2006 (slot=10/19/2006)
–Added P1 end magnetics EMC/EMI verification and calibration test
–Added pressurant tank: increased mission deltaV to help:
»mass posture (refocus bus on instrument hosting);
»bus development schedule;
»a compressed ascend and commissioning scenario
–Lost dawn sector conjunctions; but kept ascend schedule contingency
–Design work kept-on (Instr. and BAU ETU production & testing)
–Test plans being detailed; test GSE/software/adl.TV tanks being built
–Instrument ETU vibration and electrical tests have mostly occurred
–T/V tests ongoing; ETU I&T= July 2004.

Introduction-12
UCB, Jun 14-18, 2004
THEMIS MCDR main goals
• Ensure design (still) meets mission requirements including changes since PDR
• Ensure design meets safety requirements
• Ensure main PDR issues have been addressed satisfactorily
• Demonstrate design is ready for production
• Process to be an asset to the UCB Program Manager (a fresh technical look)
and to GSFC Mission Manager (compliance to processes and requirements)
• Request to review board:
• Be sparing in your RFAs
• Identify criticality and distinguish from recommendations
• Identify need dates and work them with PM to ensure workable schedule
• Resolve issues to your satisfaction if possible rather than writing it up:
– Discussion (here and now) and/or
– Arranging splinters (breaks or SSL rooms)
