All rights reserved © Altec Ref. Nr.  Inform you about ROCC training approach  Receive your comments and suggestions  Propose next steps and deadlines Objectives Dec 2014Page 2

All rights reserved © Altec Ref. Nr.  Positions considered for training:  Training Lead  Instructor  Payload or Rover Subsystem Training Responsible  Simulation Director  Simulation Operator  Trainee Training Positions Dec 2014Page 3

All rights reserved © Altec Ref. Nr.  It is a formal declaration that the operator successfully completed a training covering all his/her tasks during the mission  Certifications are tailored to each position, with common and specific areas  Due to the short duration of the ExoMars mission certifications expirations are not considered Certification Dec 2014Page 4

All rights reserved © Altec Ref. Nr.  A formal process will be set up  A Learning Management System will store all certification records  The Mission Director will sign the documents  The Training Responsible will help collecting, assembling and verifying all certification materials Certification Dec 2014Page 5

All rights reserved © Altec Ref. Nr.  It is defined by the ROCC Training Plan document  A first issue will be available on April 2015  Defines the approach, the lessons catalogue, the users and the certification requirements  It is prepared by the ROCC Training Lead Training Approach Dec 2014Page 6

All rights reserved © Altec 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

All rights reserved © Altec 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

All rights reserved © Altec 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

All rights reserved © Altec Ref. Nr.  The Learning Management System (LMS) will be available soon  Lessons description, Operators certification information and training catalogues will be available  Sensible and private information will be protected LMS and Collaboration (1 / 2) Dec 2014Page 10

All rights reserved © Altec Ref. 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

All rights reserved © Altec 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

All rights reserved © Altec 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

All rights reserved © Altec 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

All rights reserved © Altec Ref. Nr.  Organizes the ROCC training catalogue to define the certification process  Defines the training requirements for each ROCC operator  Prepares the high level definition of lessons and simulations  Verifies fulfillment of certification requirements  Manages lessons evaluations and updates Training Lead Dec 2014Page 15

All rights reserved © Altec Ref. Nr.  The Columbus project defined a training point of contact in each scientific group  It was very useful and should be defined for ExoMars as well  The position should support the ROCC Training Lead in training preparation and certification activities Payload or Rover Training Responsible (1 / 2) Dec 2014Page 16

All rights reserved © Altec Ref. Nr.  Provides support for:  Information management about operators and payloads  Documents retrieval to assemble specialistic lessons about payloads and experiments  Information retrieval to set up simulations and certifications  News distribution and delivery verifications Payload or Rover Training Responsible (2 / 2) Dec 2014Page 17

All rights reserved © Altec Ref. Nr.  We are not going to teach you about your instrument  However, we are teaching you something about the other experiments  We would like you to support us to prepare the instructional material about your experiment Final Considerations Dec 2014Page 18

All rights reserved © Altec Ref. Nr.  Short term (March 2015):  Appoint a training responsible in each payload team  Estimate the number of operators to certify (placeholders are ok, names are not mandatory)  Provide any material considered useful for training preparation (draft information and notes are ok) Proposed Schedule (1 / 3) Dec 2014Page 19

All rights reserved © Altec Ref. Nr.  Medium-term (End 2015 – Jan 2016):  Provide a first set of operators candidates and references  Provide a first batch of payload material for training development  Receive first training sessions for training responsibles  Inform future candidates about lessons availability and Learning Management System use Proposed Schedule (2 / 3) Dec 2014Page 20

All rights reserved © Altec Ref. Nr.  Simulations and Final Training with launch scheduled on May 2018  Anticipated Training: July to December 2017  Pre-launch Training: January to May 2018  Post-launch Training: June to December 2018  Facilities Availability  ROCS software V2 October 2016, V3 March 2017  Rover Operational Simulator ROSEX TAPS V3 February 2017, V4 June 2017  Terrain Simulator: May 2017 Proposed Schedule (3 / 3) Dec 2014Page 21
