2. Launch Services Program John F. Kennedy Space Center 2 Launch Services Program Overview The Launch Services Program provides launch services for various classes of NASA and NASA sponsored primary and secondary payloads. The launch services are provided through commercial launch service contracts, based on payload class, and are managed by the Launch Services Program at KSC. The launch services provided for the individual missions are further managed by Mission Integration Teams. The launch services for the THEMIS mission are provided through the NASA Launch Services contract (Boeing, Delta II 7925-10C Launch Vehicle).

23. Launch Services Program John F. Kennedy Space Center 23 The Extended Mission Integration Team is available to support the MIT and S/C Customers. The Extended Mission Integration Team consists of the following members: Vehicle Systems Provides launch vehicle insight utilizing expertise in areas such as flight controls, structures, mechanical/fluids and propulsion. Launch vehicle fleet changes or anomalies are assessed for their applicability to vehicles assigned to NASA missions and the risks of these are evaluated. Recommendations for disposition of these risks are developed and forwarded to the ELV Project for consideration. In addition, the Vehicle Systems group provides core vehicle engineering support to Mission Integration for aiding in the development of mission unique modifications and in support of integrated operations. Resident Office Provides on-site launch vehicle insight into design, fabrication and testing of the launch vehicles assigned to NASA missions, in coordination with the Vehicle Systems Branch. Provides a local point of coordination with the launch vehicle providers to facilitate communication of KSC ELV concerns and information exchange. Offices are established at each of the major production centers and at VAFB. Mission Analysis Branch Performs mission analysis in the areas of flight design, loads and environments, flight controls, flight software and thermal design in support of advance mission studies and mission integration activities. Throughout the integration process, each discipline works to assure that the mission analysis requirements are properly defined. In addition, review and/or IV & V of mission unique design requirements is performed in order to confirm all requirements have been met. The Extended Mission Integration Team is continued on the next page. Mission Integration Team (continued)

24. Launch Services Program John F. Kennedy Space Center 24 Safety and Flight Assurance (S&FA) Safety and Flight Assurance Office (SFAO) Ensures mission success through application of safety assurance and quality assurance processes applied to the review and assessment of Launch Service Provider's (LSP) safety and quality programs (NASA-STD-8709.2). Implements NASA ELV Safety and Mission Assurance Standards for spacecraft operations while at NASA facilities (NASA-STD-8719.8), and for launch vehicle operations from procurement through launch. Civil service (NASA, DCMA) and contractor personnel located at KSC and resident offices perform safety and flight assurance activities related to LSP launch vehicle processing. Provides coordination with KSC Safety and Range Safety. Activities include: review and assessment of Launch Service Provider processes, Software Assurance and review of LSP Quality and Safety Program Plans. Communications & Telemetry Provides engineering and communications services for launch vehicle and spacecraft. Support includes voice, video, data, timing, RF and network communications as well as telemetry processing of expendable launch vehicles and selected spacecraft telemetry streams. The Electromagnetics Effects lab provides engineering and services for Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), Frequency Control and Analysis (FCA), and the Reradiating Antenna System (RAS) for KSC, the Eastern Test Range and NASA facilities at VAFB. EMC capabilities include specification testing and resolution of hardware, system and facility EMC compatibility problems as well as surveillance, RF interference resolution, and radar beacon transponder measurements for all launch vehicles in support of Range Safety.
