6 Project Manager’s Top Challenges 1.Increasing CIR (and FIR) data management efficiency (ACME needed for sure) 2.Maintaining trained and certified CIR and FIR Operations Team 3.Keep TSC operational and properly maintained with minimal staffing (CoNNeCT operations may impact need for more staffing) 4.Delay of ACME may led to year gap in CIR operations 5.Radiation and aging impacts to FCF electronics for long-term life 6.MDCA and LMM lack of sparing for long-term operations (FCF Sustaining Engineering inheriting the risk) 7.Crew installation of Fuel Reservoirs and lock down of Racks not always correctly followed. 8.Elimination of Bench Reviews at JSC puts strain on resources to complete IPLAT/HFIT requirements (potential PIRN to have ALL requirements closed prior to Ship could have significant impact and may not be practical). 9.ISS Facilities going to JSC organizations. Unclear if any impact to this transfer will occur.

Top 10 Risks LIKELIHOODLIKELIHOOD 5 4 F1 3 F2, F3 2 F4, F CONSEQUENCES Risk IDRisk TitleRisk StatementLCApproach F1  Technical Corban 10/04/2011 FCFSE: DCM LCTF failure Given the DCM LCTF fails on the CIR flight rack; then there is an inability to accomplish full FLEX2 science. 43Mitigate: Manifest DCM LCTF S/N2001 on the next DO period of performance. Add procurement and assembly of a 2 nd spare LCTF DCM to the DO period of performance. Status: Plans to add procurement and assembly of a 2 nd spare to the DO Close Date: 07/31/2012 F2  Technical Corban 10/18/2010 FCFSE: Unknown cause DCM failure Given that the LCTF DCM had a communication failure on the CIR aboard ISS without a known cause; there is a risk of subsequent DCM failures on remaining DCMs will occur. 33Mitigate: The flight spare on the ground is in the process of being certified for flight. This unit will need to be manifested as a flight spare to mitigate this risk. Status: There is currently additional troubleshooting going on as more issues have arisen and need to be better understood to resolve. Close Date : 02/29/2012 F3  Technical Corban 10/04/2011 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. 33 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: Task has been added t the DO to upgrade to LMM GIU. Close Date: 07/02/2012 F4  Technical Corban 02/10/2010 FCFSE: Lack of critical spares aboard ISS Given that there is a lack of critical spares aboard the ISS; then there is the possibility that a lack of meeting all science requirements will occur. 23 Mitigate: A priority list for flight critical spares has been established. ZIN has shipped and manifested flight White Light EPCU IOP FSAP. Additional flight h/w for ULF5 include: IPSU-A FCU Q-Imaging camera and IPSU (Remora). ZIN is in the process of verifying additional spare h/w (FIR &CIR velocity probe White Light lamps IPSU-A FCU and an IAM. Status: Working to add next set of spares to DO; will include spare fiber-optic cable to backfill for suspect cable on-orbit Close Date: 04/06/2012 F5  Technical Corban 02/10/2010 FCFSE: IOP removable hard drive shelf life Given that the IOP removable hard drives have a limited shelf life; possibility that these hard drives won't work over time and the racks won’t be able to provide support for their payloads to perform science ops. 23 Watch: Awaiting to see if funding issues will be resolved. Status: Funding for new design functional model IOP hard drives in the current DO.
