MOL The Mission Operations Laboratory Page 11 NASA MSFC Engineering Directorate Huntsville, Alabama Proposal – JSC Supplied Equipment Options at JSC:  Payload Training Complex (PTC) - Building 5 (Recommended)  Rack Buildup Area (RBA)/Classroom/U.S. Lab/ Slab  RBA is a locked room dedicated to POIF  EXPRESS Rack Simulator, tables and chairs  Includes power and Ethernet LAN  ABRS could be on table or in EXPRESS Rack  Computer projector and external power supply available  Space Station Mockup Training Facility (SSMTF) – Building 9  High Fidelity Mockup/Node/Etc.  Payload Development Lab (PDL) II – POIF US Lab Mockup  Power, nitrogen, water available  International Procedures Viewer (IPV)  Flight-like use of procedures on an EXPRESS Laptop  Available in all training facilities, but must be requested  APEX-Cambium will use IPV  Tools  Station tools and support equipment available

MOL The Mission Operations Laboratory Page 12 NASA MSFC Engineering Directorate Huntsville, Alabama On-Board Training (OBT)  OBT Products can be in the form of crew procedures, video conference with certified instructor, On-board Computer-Based Trainer (OCBT) or other approved training materials.  May be used as a supplement to or in place of ground-based training.  Reasons for OBT: proficiency, optional refresher, just-in-time training due to lack of available hardware or training time prior to launch.  Duration for lessons is taken from Payload’s on-board operation allotment and requirements are input into the Planning Data set (URC).  OCBTs must follow a template required by the On-Board Training Working Group.  All courseware used for training must have been through a payload training dry run and is configuration-controlled by the JSC On-Board Support System (COSS) integration group.

MOL The Mission Operations Laboratory Page 13 NASA MSFC Engineering Directorate Huntsville, Alabama On-Board Training Development Process  TST makes the decision to use OBT for a payload.  PD fills out a preliminary OBT Description Form and provides it to the Ops Lead.  Product information incl. type of product, title, version #, file size  Product compliance information  Synopsis of what is in the product  Supporting hardware the product requires  COSS Product Integration services required  Launch and return flights of the product  ~L-12 months: Lesson Concept Meeting between PD and Ops Lead to finalize training objectives, lesson synopses and planned OBT media.  User develops the OBT product and holds iterative evaluations.  Physical media and OCBT (electronic uplink) both require a PTDR (L-4 to 2 months) before final delivery.

MOL The Mission Operations Laboratory Page 14 NASA MSFC Engineering Directorate Huntsville, Alabama Payload Instructor Selection and Certification Requirements  Who will be the instructor?  Dave Reed for ABRS Facility and TAGES Science  Melanie Mailloux for Cambium Science  Will there be a backup instructor?  Dave and Melanie will certify as backups for one another.  Are multiple instructors needed?  No, but Subject Matter Experts could be called upon: PIs and April Spinale.  Payload Instructor(s) are certified by successfully performing a Payload Training Dry Run for each lesson.

MOL The Mission Operations Laboratory Page 15 NASA MSFC Engineering Directorate Huntsville, Alabama Payload Training Data Set  What is the training data set?  Payload Training Requirements  Curriculum Requirements  How to access it?  PDs Need POIF Account (Ops Lead will provide access info)  PDs Need URL of Training & Crew Ops Web site  Who populates it?  Ops Lead (PD will verify information)  When and how to baseline?  1 ECR for PTU Requirements Post-TST (as soon as we all agree; in schedule on next page, it is the first item, ”Dataset Baseline”)  1 ECR for Curriculum Requirements Post-PTDR* * PDs should plan to attend the Payload Training Dry Run (PTDR) to support as Subject Matter Experts (SMEs)
