The HABET Organization

1. The HABET Organization This section of the HABET core training explains how the project is organized. ESC

2. 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. 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 payloador 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. 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! ESC

5. The organization is TEAM BASED: EMT - (Executive Management Team) 3 Senior people to provide continuity MMT - (Mission Management Team) Unique to each specific mission, may be several in existence at once, all students (except maybe the PI) LT - (Launch Team) Unique to each specific mission, may be several in existence at once, all students, launches the spacecraft RT - (Recovery Team) Unique to each specific mission, may be several in existence at once, all students, recovers the spacecraft FT - (Flight Team) Unique to each specific mission, may be several in existence at once, all students, operates the spacecraft ET - (Engineering Team) Unique to each specific mission, usually several in existence, students & staff, to incorporate science and technology into missions The Teams have student managers: HMGR- HABET Manager(Chairs the EMT) MMGR- Mission Manager(Chairs the MMT) LD- Launch Director (Leads the LT) RD- Recovery Director (Leads the RT) FD- Flight Director (Leads the FT) ED- Engineering Director (Leads the ET) ESC

6. Meets Regularly Votes Unanimously (with documented reservations) Hires & Fires HABET Manager (HMGR) and SSOL Manager Initiates a new HABET Mission only for: Science Technology Development Proficiency • EMT • (Executive Management Team) • HABET Manager(Adam Cupp - CHAIR) • HABET Advisor(Arthur Vickers) • HABET Faculty(John Basart or Bill Byrd) Selects Mission Manager (MMGR) Conducts Mission Initiation Board (MIB) Approves and Certifies Mission Directors (Launch, Recovery, Flight, Engineering) Develops and Approves Mission Rules Provides Funding for Each Mission, HMGR, and SSOL supplies ESC

7. MMT • (Mission Management Team) • MMGR • Principal Investigator(if science or technology) • Launch Director • Recovery Director • Flight Director • Engineering Director EMT MMT (Mission Management Team) One for Each Mission Meets Regularly (MMGR Chairs) Votes Unanimously (with documented reservations) Approves Mission Team Staffing Sets Schedule Conducts Integrated Simulation Conducts Mission Readiness Review(MRR) Conducts Flight Readiness Review (FRR) Approves Waivers Conducts End of Flight Debriefing (EOF Debriefing) MMT (Mission Management Team) MMT (Mission Management Team) ESC

8. FLIGHT TEAM • FD • Other FT membersHas Command Control from “Spacecraft Clear” through end of lift(“Spacecraft Away”) • LAUNCH TEAM • LD • Other LT membersHas Command Control from FRR through launch (“Spacecraft Clear”) • RECOVERY TEAM • RD • Other RT membersHas Command Control from “Spacecraft Away” through physical recovery(“Recovery Complete”) • ENGINEERING TEAM • ED • Other ET membersImplements Technology and Science into Spacecraft ESC

10. 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

11. Simple Documentation:The Certification Card All of your training will be documented on this one card BACK FRONT ESC

12. Simple Management:Staffing Boards This board shows who is working on what mission... ESC

13. The Rules of the Training Process: • All exams required are pass/fail with 90% score for pass • 1 hr between re-examinations with no limit on retakes • All core training must be completed before beginning Team training • 100% of Team training must be completed before beginning advanced training for Directorship of any Team • The EMT must sign certification cards for all advanced training • MMGR certification requires actual mission experience in all 3 Directorship positions • During the initial implementation period, the EMT will approve waivers prior to the integrated simulation for a given mission • The HMGR administers all written exams, maintains files, schedules expert oral exams, and maintains configuration control of training materials ESC

14. Training Flow: New Recruit ---> Complete Core Training • HABET Organization Familiarization • Power Point Presentation • HABET Terminology Familiarization • Self-paced study of Dictionary • Basic SSOL Familiarization • Power Point Presentation • Walk through with any Director level or above • Basic Launch Site Familiarization • Power Point Presentation • Basic Safety Review • Power Point Presentation • Core Training Final Exam • Written • Oral (HMGR) • HMGR Sign-off on Certification Card ESC

15. Training Flow: New Recruit ---> Complete Core Training Novice ---> Complete Team Training • Step-by-step training available for each Team, includes: • Power Point Presentation • Walk through with any Director for the relevant team • Written Exam • Simulation (stand alone or integrated) (Director initials Certification card) • Oral Exam by any Director for the relevant team (Dir initials Cert card) • Sign-off by HMGR (after reviewing training file) Once 100% of Team training for all teams is completed then... ESC

16. Training Flow: New Recruit ---> Complete Core Training Novice ---> Complete Team Training Expert ---> Complete Advanced Training • Launch Director Training • Power Point Presentation • Conduct a stand alone simulation (A supervising LD initials Certification card) • Conduct an integrated simulation (A supervising MMGR initials Certification card) • Written Exam • Oral Exam (A member of the EMT signs Certification card) OR Flight Director Training {Same as for LD with supervising FD} OR Recovery Director Training {Same as for FD with supervising RD} • Serve as LD for one Mission • Serve as FD for one Mission • Serve as RD for one Mission • Mission Manager Training • Power Point Presentation • Conduct an integrated simulation (A supervising MMGR initials Certification card) • Written Exam • Oral Exam (A member of the EMT signs Certification card) ESC

17. After that... HOORAY! You’re Done! You’re a certified... Space Cadet! ESC

18. But even with a plan, a schedule, and qualified people the program is at risk from student turnover. • We need documentation that is... • Simple • Complete • Safe to use • Kept current We needPROCEDURES! ESC

19. Procedures are documented in the form of checklists There is a checklist for each team member and for each major event Example: Checklist tells each step to complete an activity safely ESC

20. 2 1 10 5 6 3 4 7 8 9 WHEN to perform a procedure is given on a timeline A given procedure is performed by the assigned team member at the scheduled point on the timeline ESC

21. 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. 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. 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 educationalANDFUN!
