Page No. 6 Increment 12 Research Objectives (ESA) l ESA astronaut Thomas Reiter will be flying as a Long Duration Crewmember (LDM) for part of Inc. 11 (starting at ULF-1.1) and all of Inc. 12 ‒ From an Increment-perspective, Mr. Reiter is viewed as a Russian Cosmonaut serving as Flight Engineer Number 2 (FE-2) l ESA has purchased a significant amount of crew time from Russia for Mr. Reiter to perform ESA research and public affairs events during Inc. 12 ‒ Except for PromISS-4 and EMCS activation and check-out, all ESA utilization crew time during Inc. 12 will be counted against the Russian crew time allocation for utilization l The following payloads were identified by ESA as being planned within the Russian crew time allocation during Inc. 12: CULT EDOS Nitrous Oxygen Analyzer (NOA), with ESANO Parts 1 and 2) Eye Tracking Device (ETD) Global Transmission Service (GTS) Matroshka (MTS) Cardiocog Skin - Aging Skin – Hair Care PK-3 Triangulation (TRI) ARISS ALTCRISS (but requires U.S. resources to support data downlink) Oil Emulsion (but requires U.S. resources to support data downlink) Immuno 3-Dimensional Mapping (3DM) (requires Erasmus Binoculars; constrained to Russian Segment) PR-C (Communications) – essentially, a series of PAO events PR-S (Symbolics) – essentially, a series of PAO events Special Event Meal (SEM) Biology -1 (sortie payloads on 12S) l All of the above ESA payloads must be operated within the Russian Segment and stowed within the Russian stowage allocation; none are being certified for integration/operation in the U.S. Segment or launch/return on Shuttle l None of the above payloads require payload operations integration support

Page No. 7 Programmatic Utilization Issues and Open Items l Uncertainty with Flight ULF-1.1 ‒ Until the External Tank foam, thermal blanket damage, and other anomalies from Flight LF-1 are dispositioned, it is unclear when ULF-1.1 will be cleared for flight ‒ The Program has indicated that Flight ULF-1.1 now NET launch date of Sept. 22 »This new launch date introduces schedule conflicts with 11S dock and 10S undock Insufficient spacing between and possibly overlap of ULF-1.1 and 11S Slipping 10S to the right moves it further into non-daylight landing hours »If the Sept. 22 date holds, additional crew time to unpack ULF-1.1 cargo will slip into Inc. 12 This will cause the entire front-end of the Increment to be re-planned to support the two U.S. Stage EVAs; this could impact MISSE PEC 3 and 4 installation and life issues Activation and check-out of EMCS and MELFI to support completion of Tropi and POEMS before Flight 12A won’t be feasible; therefore, MELFI will need to be operated during the power-limited Stage 12A, thus putting cold stowage samples at risk ‒ If ULF-1.1 slips beyond Flight 11S, all Increments will need to be - »Nearly two-thirds of the research planned for Inc. 12 is dependent upon hardware being delivered on Flight ULF-1.1 »A portion of the Increment would have 2 crewmembers rather than 3, thus significantly reducing the amount of time available for utilization »It’s also unclear how re-planning of the ESA LDM would be accommodated in Inc. 12 and later Increments

Page No. 8 Programmatic Utilization Issues and Open Items (continued) l As currently planned, Flight ULF-1.1 does not have sufficient time available to transfer the majority of utilization hardware from the MPLM to the ISS ‒ Essentially, ULF-1.1 falls short one required docked day due to insufficient cryo margin ‒ The Program has divided the MPLM payload complement into two transfer “layers”, with Layer 2 not being supported by the current mission plan »Layer 1 includes high-priority hardware to be transferred from the MPLM to the ISS, and all ISS trash and return hardware to be transferred back to the MPLM Rack and locker-level payload hardware, such as MELFI and EMCS, is included in Layer 1, but none of the support hardware or supplies required to install and activate MELFI and EMCS are in Layer 1 »Layer 2 includes low-priority hardware -- essentially, all U.S. payload hardware except the rack/locker-size hardware is included in this category ‒ If Layer 2 is not accommodated, then it would not be possible to perform the following payloads currently planned for Inc. 12: »ALTEA, Foot, SPHERES, MSG Repair, Tropi, EMCS check-out and activation (including EMCS MOOCE), SpaceDRUMS; DAFT 3/4, majority of CFE, and HRF workstation upgrades ‒ Essentially, not transferring Layer 2 would result in a 71% reduction in planned research for Inc. 12 (70.1 hrs rather than 242 hrs) ‒ Efforts are still underway to resolve the docked duration issue; as mitigation, the Shuttle Program is developing transfer plans for an additional docked day if cryo margin issues can be resolved (either real-time or pre-launch)

Page No. 9 Programmatic Utilization Issues and Open Items (continued) l A significant amount of work is still required in order to accommodate the late addition of ESA payloads to Increment 12 that require U.S. integration support and operation within the U.S. Segment ‒ For PFS Upgrade and Card: »ESA must launch the PFS Upgrade hardware on Flight 11S and the Card hardware on Flight 20P »If the PFS Upgrade hardware is not delivered on 11S, neither PFS Upgrade nor Card can be supported during Increment 12 »ESA must still provide PFS Upgrade hardware and Card Holter test and verification data to NASA OZ (PEI) and HRF to certify compliance with SSP 57000 and readiness for installation and operation within the U.S. Segment »Significant work is still required to complete procedure development to accommodate PFS Upgrade and Card; both are dependent upon inputs from ESA and HRF ‒ For E-Learning: »Security issues involving the use of NetMeeting with schools and universities throughout Europe that are outside of the ISS network firewall must still be resolved »Identification of the schools and universities that will be participating is still being decided by ESA ‒ For other ESA payloads (e.g., Oil Emulsion, DVD-4): »A significant amount of coordination with MOD, S&MA (PSRP), and other organizations is still required to increase the likelihood of accomplishing these activities
10
Page No. 10 Programmatic Utilization Issues and Open Items (continued) l Schedule conflicts between Flight 20P undocking, Flight 21P docking, and Flight 12A must still be resolved ‒ All of these flights overlap during February 2006 l MELFI Operation and Power Limitations ‒ If MELFI is required during Stage 12A, there is not sufficient power to accommodate any other payload rack activities while MELFI is powered ‒ Therefore, OOS planning has emphasized the need to complete all cold stowage activities before Flight 12A »This would allow all cold samples to be returned on Flight 12A so that MELFI could be powered down and conflicting power demand can be avoided »Based on the ULF-1.1 slip, its no longer clear that all payload activities requiring MELFI operations can be completed prior to Flight 12A »In addition, it’s not clear that sufficient down-manifest capability is available to support return of all of the cold samples on Flight 12A
11
Page No. 11 Conclusion l Despite the aforementioned issues, Increment 12 is poised to be an excellent Increment that maximizes our utilization opportunities ‒ We have an excellent and dedicated Increment Management Team who continue, despite ongoing fluctuation and uncertainty, to find ways to maximize crew time available for utilization ‒ We have an excellent, experienced, and fun Payload Operations Team who, in spite of late changes and continuing uncertainty, continue to develop and provide high-quality products and will ensure successful execution of the Increment Research Plan ‒ We have an excellent Increment Lead Flight Director and flight controller team ready to support the Increment ‒ And, of course, we have an excellent crew!
