1、Public Lessons Learned Entry: 5044 Lesson Info: Lesson Number: 5044 Submitting Organization: KSC Submitted by: Jenni Palmer Subject: Unclear Responsibilities, Requirements, Quantities, Schedules & Reviews For Contractor-Provided Ground Support Equipment Abstract: The process for reviewing, approving
2、 and identifying required quantity of contractor developed Ground Support Equipment (GSE) was unclear. As a result, the GSE contractor developed and designed hardware for use without adequate review and input from Ground Operations Project (GOP). Description of Driving Event: The following are exam
3、ples of occurrences that led to this lesson. The design of the Armadillo was supposedly baselined, but GOP personnel could not verify invitation to design reviews. Approximately 20 sets of the stabilization collar and sea anchor GSE are required to ensure worldwide rescue response capability. While
4、expected to work closely with contractor GSE designers, KSC personnel had no authority to direct contractor activities without going through Orion Project Office at JSC. Due to the absence of a formal mechanism, an informal GSE end item requirements sheet review process was established to provide a
5、means for NASA to review and comment to contractor-provided GSE items prior to design. Lesson(s) Learned: The process for tracking and managing landing and recovery GSE product requirements and development decisions needs to be enhanced. There were often disconnects between various GSE lists, delive
6、ry schedules, and expected quantities. Thoroughness of NASA participation and review may have been reduced due to the informal nature of the process. Identification of quantities for required GSE and who was responsible for their care and storage was often unclear. Recommendation(s): Develop a GSE I
7、ntegrated Product Team (IPT) that has authority to review GSE designs and help establish GSE quantities and requirements for all GSE. The IPT will make written agreements (BEAs) and/or contract modifications to ensure multiple copies of GSE are procured when required. Evidence of Recurrence Control
