THEMIS Status Selected for Phase A: April 17, 2002 Selected for Phase B: March 20, 2003 PDR – peer: Oct 8/9/15/16, 2003, Mission PDR: Nov 13-14, 2003 Confirmation Readiness Review – [Original: Dec’03] GSFC, Feb 4, 2004 Confirmation Review – [Orig. Dec’03] Attempt: HQ, Mar 4, 2004 (Aborted) Confirmation: April 22, 2004 GSFC direction to further reduce I&T schedule risk Developed better I&T flow, validated by GSFC Engineering Developed 2 month slack in I&T flow, pushing launch to 10/2006 (slot=10/19/2006) Added P1 end magnetics EMC/EMI verification and calibration test Added pressurant tank: increased mission deltaV to help: mass posture (refocus bus on instrument hosting); bus development schedule; a compressed ascend and commissioning scenario Lost dawn sector conjunctions; but kept ascend schedule contingency Design work kept-on (Instr. and BAU ETU production & testing) Test plans being detailed; test GSE/software/adl.TV tanks being built Instrument ETU vibration and electrical tests have mostly occurred T/V tests ongoing; ETU I&T= July 2004.

THEMIS MCDR main goals Ensure design (still) meets mission requirements including changes since PDR Ensure design meets safety requirements Ensure main PDR issues have been addressed satisfactorily Demonstrate design is ready for production Process to be an asset to the UCB Program Manager (a fresh technical look) and to GSFC Mission Manager (compliance to processes and requirements) Request to review board: Be sparing in your RFAs Identify criticality and distinguish from recommendations Identify need dates and work them with PM to ensure workable schedule Resolve issues to your satisfaction if possible rather than writing it up: Discussion (here and now) and/or Arranging splinters (breaks or SSL rooms)
