3. Environmental Test Planning Meeting
Increased Systems involvement
Martin Nordby and Rich Bielawski have taken on the role of coordinating the planning for environmental testing
This supports I&T both with systems engineering technical input and with the additional warm bodies to aid them with long-term planning while they are focused on the immediate integration tasks at hand

EMI/EMC: Michael Lovellette
Acoustic: John Ku
Thermal-Vacuum: Jack Goodman (with Martin Nordby)

4. Agenda Review proposed test sequence Current 408 baseline
Proposed sequence
Rationale for new sequence
Walk through test sequence to flesh out details
This includes walking through the entire sequence of events, including moving, packing, storing, etc
Identify as many as possible of the issues that need working out and develop a more complete list of actions needed for each test.
See the following charts for information/issues/actions to be captured for each test
Work out development timeline
Walk through framework of timeline
Add detail for working down issues and generating test plans
Add Pathfinder to schedule
Next Step
Subcommittee meetings to work down actions and issues for individual tests
“General Specifics” meeting at NRL in early-to-mid-March—work facility, logistics, and pathfinder issues, plus get reports from Test Directors on subcommittee actions

7. Rationale for Revising Test Sequence
Improved Radiator installation sequencing
The new test sequence removes one full cycle of installing/removing the Radiators
This is a higher-risk activity that is expected to be hard to do
The revised sequence is expected to allow us going directly from acoustic to thermal-vacuum testing without removing the Radiators
This ensures that the Rad-Grid thermal joint is tested exactly as it will fly
This is the only way to verify in thermal-vac that the joint can sustain launch acoustic loading without detrimental impact on its thermal performance
The revised sequence will require that the MGSE can accommodate the LAT with Radiators on during the transition from acoustic to thermal-vacuum testing
Ensures that dynamics testing retires risks early
Sine vibe: this will be done first, and will allow us to check LAT modes early. If modal survey is needed, it will allow the most time to develop contingency plans
Acoustic: this is done after EMI/EMC, to ensure that any add-on EMI shielding is included in the acoustic test
Preserves late thermal-vacuum testing
Thermal-vacuum testing is still performed last, to provide a perceptive check that dynamics testing did not produce any thermal problems at our many bolt-up joints
Next Step
Work to the proposed sequence in planning tests and working actions
Initiate CCB, update -408 document and revise LAT baseline test sequence

8. Environmental Test Punch List: Test Plan
Objective
Test Plan
Completed test plan describing technical details of the test
List of instrumentation needed to accomplish test goals
Data products format, quantity, and quality
Entrance/exit criteria for test (on-site or SLAC review)
Test personnel (at SLAC and NRL)
Test director, test conductor, discipline lead, facility manager, other people involved (MGSE, EGSE, test scripts, etc); get phone/cell numbers, s; ultimately, this includes all needed test personnel
Define a subcommittee to work issues for this test
Test requirements
Requirements flowing from the Test Plan and/or verification needs that impact any aspect of the test set-up
Includes facility needs, MGSE constraints
Description of activities
Sequence of tasks with enough detail to identify all work and the order in which it must be completed
This becomes input into LAT Environmental Test Sequence document

9. Environmental Test Punch List: Test Configuration
Mechanical configuration
Orientation in room and wrt gravity
Personnel access needs around LAT
MGSE requirements: support, cooling, stability
MGSE design
Electrical configuration
