Project Manager’s Top Concerns
o Keeping the new IPSU-G on-schedule along with getting good camera specifications
o Lack of LMM Core Microscope spare
o Keep TSC operational and properly maintained with minimal staffing
o Meeting potential FIR Operations needs in 2013 (assuming LMM Stage working)
o Minimizing the risks to achieve Long-Term Life for CIR and FIR
o MDCA and LMM lack of sparing for long-term operations
o “Aging” of all avionics to meet future PI needs
o ISS Program requests for data and various information
o Minimizing the ISS Program oversight activities

ACME: IPSU to IOP image transfer rates take too long
Given that the current data transfer rates from the IPSU to the IOP is severely limited, transfer of ACME data may take an unacceptable amount of time and may reduce obtainable science for the allotted operational time on board ISS.
5 3
Watch: Need to keep an eye on this and follow up with the CIR team to keep updated on transfer improvements.Status: The FCF NASA PM has obtained funding for a new IPSU design with the ACME data transfer rates as part of the design criteriaClose Date: 12/31/2012

Technical Corban10/04/2011
FCFSE:LMM GIU does not fully emulate the flight unit
Given that the LMM GIU does not fully emulate the flight unit;; the possibility exists that future LMM flight experiments will not operate correctly.
3 3
Mitigate: Plan is to review LMM GIU non-flight design issues and add task to update LMM GIU to the next DO period of performance. Status: Bertrand homing problem has resolved and need to complete the home position calibration Close Date: 12/31/2012

FCFSE:ICM Failure
Given that the ICM may fail; then there will be a significant impact to the back lit imaging science instrument to occur.

FCFSE:IOP removable hard drive shelf life
Given that the IOP removable hard drives have a limited shelf life; then there is the possibility that these hard drives won't work over time and the FIR and CIR racks will not be able to provide support for their payloads to perform science operations will occur.

Mitigate: Implement a procedure to re-format the hard drive on-orbit to minimize loss of magnetic field encoding data on the diskStatus: Currently on track for the development of the formatting procedure. Close Date: 12/31/2012

Issues & Concerns
• FLEX-2 Operations timeline assumes 2 science days per week but only getting 1 science day per week on average, even after performing science operations without ARIS. Will impact end date for FLEX-2 operations.
• CIR/FIR operations request by the science teams for CY13 is not fully supported by ISS resources or FCF operations budget.
