7. All rights reserved © 2014 - Altec www.altecspace.it Ref. Nr.  Columbus ESA training for ground operators is organized with classroom lessons at Cologne and Munich  This provides a possibility for setting up contacts with other sites’ operators  Arranging suitable dates for many operators is not easy and sometimes long waiting lists are required  Columbus did not require to build up the whole team in a short time as ExoMars Columbus Training Approach Dec 2014Page 7

8. All rights reserved © 2014 - Altec www.altecspace.it Ref. Nr.  ExoMars training should be efficient to assemble a full team in time for a condensed mission  First training phases may overlap with last payload development stages  Operators may have limited booking time for training during this period  Lessons should then be remotely available as an option ExoMars Training Approach Dec 2014Page 8

9. All rights reserved © 2014 - Altec www.altecspace.it Ref. Nr.  Many theoretical lessons may be delivered using an e-learning infrastructure  This allows on-demand delivery removing location and timing contraints  Operators can recall lessons at any time to refresh knowledge  Some common lessons will be delivered on-site to allow direct interaction with instructors and other operators ExoMars Training Approach Dec 2014Page 9

Nr.  The LMS will act as a common repository where operators are invited to share material useful for training  Payload training responsibles will coordinate this data collection  Wikis and forums will be available for discussions  News about ExoMars training will be available on the LMS as prime distribution medium LMS and Collaboration (2 / 2) Dec 2014Page 11

12. All rights reserved © 2014 - Altec www.altecspace.it Ref. Nr.  The amount of lessons required for certification is related to mission tasks assigned to the position  Lessons are implemented with increasing specialization  Material will be available for refresh at any time using the LMS, with cue cards and quizzes Lessons Allocation Dec 2014Page 12

13. All rights reserved © 2014 - Altec www.altecspace.it Ref. Nr.  Simulations are organized for operators certification  Operators are declared mission ready after completion of theoretical lessons as well as simulation sessions  Effort on simulations is maximized, focusing on operational and troubleshooting skills Simulations Dec 2014Page 13

14. All rights reserved © 2014 - Altec www.altecspace.it Ref. Nr.  Simulations will be organized to deliver multiple products:  Certification of ExoMars operators  Validation of ground infrastructure  Development of a planning library that will be the input for strategic plans  Development of a knowledge base of failures and replannings Simulations Products Dec 2014Page 14
