RLEP/LRO MAR – PAIP Relationship
•
•
•
•
The RLEP Mission Assurance Requirements (MAR) document was written to
define the overall mission requirements for hardware, software and related
critical ground support equipment.
The Spacecraft/Orbiter and Instrument teams responded with their
Performance Assurance Implementation Plans (PAIP) which outline how the
individual institutions and their contractors would meet the requirements
called out as CDRLs in the MAR.
After the project has reviewed the initial PAIPs and commented back to the
teams, revisions in the PAIPs may be required.
Those requirements which the developers cannot meet will be documented on
a waiver request.

Problem Failure Reporting
•
•
•
•
•
Both the spacecraft/orbiter and instrument teams are required to document
failures (at the first application of power at the start of end item acceptance
testing or the first operation of a mechanism) or nonconformances with
received product.
The LRO project office must be notified of problem/failures within 24 hours
of occurrence. A failure review board may be required to disposition the
actions related to the issue.
A closed loop nonconformance system is also required by the MAR. It shall
include ensuring the corrective action is implemented to prevent recurrence.
A Material Review Board is required to disposition other than preliminary
reviews. The teams QA lead shall be a member of the MRB.
The MRB chairperson shall notify the LRO project of all MRB actions and
recommendations.

Surveillance and Audits
•
•
•
•
The LRO Project has a surveillance plan (430-PLAN-0003) which defines
how the project will monitor hardware and software development activities
from all the contractors.
Assurance reviews and audits provide an insight into how the contractors are
functioning.
Participation by SMA in boards such as CCB, PCB, MRB, FRB and others
provides insight into various phases of the design and workmanship.
The LRO SMA team will use two methods of product verification.
– Direct examination: inspection of hardware and associated documentation
– Indirect examination: similar hardware fabricated by the same personnel and
equipment, lot acceptance samples and material examinations that may take place
at GSFC.

Mission Assurance Summary
• Mission Assurance Requirements are well defined and
comprehensive.
• These are traditional requirements for GSFC Missions and they
are understood.
• Systems with experienced personnel are in place and operating.
