Risk Statement
Approach & Plan
Comments/Status
If: The grassroots cost estimate
for the deployment and
articulation systems is
significantly underestimated.
Then: There is a possibility of
significant LRO mission cost.
Research: Perform detailed
analysis of RFI responses and
develop both technical and
acquisition alternatives.
In Progress – RFI responses
rec’d and summarized. Wide
range of vendor cost
estimates.

NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center
• RM Board is comprised of core systems
team and senior project management.
Meets monthly.
• Process is guided by Risk Management
Coordinator on Project Staff.
• Identification of Risks accomplished by
both grassroots risk identification at
instrument/subsystem level and top down by
management/systems identification of
mission risks.
• Specialized techniques applied by systems team
for reliability and safety assessments.
 Both reliability engineer and safety
engineer are part of systems team.

Initial Guiding Boundary Conditions
• 2008 launch
•Delta II class LV
•Accommodate Investigations sought
by ORDT/AO
• $400M cost target put forth in FAD
