2. Return to the Main Training Menu HABET Core Menu HABET Organization HABET HABET involves two dimensions: Engineering Operations Engineering involves... Designing... Building... Testing... for the spacecraft bus systems and payloads Operations involves... Planning... Training... Flying... for an integrated spacecraft bus and payload This training is for ONLY the OPERATIONS portion of the HABET program ESC

3. Return to the Main Training Menu HABET Core Menu HABET Organization At some point, HABET engineering must transition into operations This will occur when a mission can be defined that... 1)Has a scientific purpose AND a flight-ready payload or Has a flight-ready technology development purpose or Is needed for HABET team proficiency and 2) A flight-ready spacecraft bus is available and 3) A qualified mission team is available and 4) Funding is available ESC

4. Return to the Main Training Menu HABET Core Menu HABET Organization The HABET Vision - To become the leading university in high altitude balloon experiments To accomplish this requires an operations process that is: Safe for the population, the HABET Team, and property Organized with clear lines of authority and responsibility Planned thoroughly and conducted legally Implemented with qualified people from multiple fields Durable to accommodate student turnover Reliable for cost, schedule and customer requirements Educational FUN!

10. Return to the Main Training Menu HABET Core Menu HABET Organization HABET To accomplish all of this and to protect ourselves we must be trained to perform our HABET jobs. The training process must be: Simple (Minimum paperwork and administration) Logical (Only required functions must be covered) Consistent (Exceptions by waiver only) Documented Training will include self-study, demonstrations, stand- alone and integrated simulations, written and oral examinations, and OJT ESC

21. Return to the Main Training Menu HABET Core Menu HABET Organization The EMT will develop a set of standard Mission Rules that will form the basis for safe procedures The Training Rules shown earlier are part of these standard Mission Rules The MMT will develop a set of mission-specific rules, if required, that cover unique situations not covered in the standard mission rules The MMT will request waivers from the EMT for all standard mission rules, when necessary The MMT will unanimously approve waivers to mission-specific rules ESC

22. Return to the Main Training Menu HABET Core Menu HABET Organization Kit Most equipment, tools and all procedures are issued in a Kit to the MMGR at the MIB The MMGR distributes them to the Team Directors and from there to the team members individually ESC

23. Return to the Main Training Menu HABET Core Menu HABET Organization Review Summary: The Ops Plan begins when engineering is done for a given mission A Mission has a purpose: Science, Technology, Proficiency 6 Teams form the basis of the organization: EMT, MMT, LT, FT, RT, ET There are 10 major milestones in the standard mission timeline Training is necessary to protect HABET, the populace, and property Procedures ensure that HABET will survive as students graduate Mission rules require compliance or waivers Most everything required to conduct a mission is provided in a kit HABET is meant to be educational AND FUN!
