Unmanned space project management: Surveyor and lunar orbiter

An analysis of the management of two major NASA projects, Surveyor and Lunar Orbiter is presented. The analysis reflects the comments and criticisms of many NASA officials who were responsible for various phases of the projects as well as comments by knowledgeable persons outside NASA. Findings are submitted with respect to; (1) environment, (2) role of individuals, (3) teamwork, (4) roles and missions, (5) organization, and (6) cost performance.

The Mars Surveyor Operations Project Command Generation Process

The Mars Global Surveyor mission (MGS) will be the first in a series of Mars missions to recover the science lost when the ill fated Mars Observer spacecraft suffered a catastrophic anomaly in its propulsion system and was unable to attain orbital capture at the planet...This paper will describe in detail the methods employed by the MSOP ( Mars Surveyor Operations Project)flight team to accelerate the command generation process.

The Mars surveyor operations project command generation process

The methods employed by the Mars surveyor operations project (MSOP) flight team to accelerate the command generation process are described. The approach adopted was to develop a ground system which could simultaneously support as many as three spacecraft in various phases of flight and two in development. The uplink element of the MSOP is discussed, including the control of the science instruments and the spacecraft bus using real-time commands as well as time-tagged stored sequences. The non-interactive payload command process, the express command process, the coordinated command process and the stored sequence process are described. The automation of these processes resulted in flight operations cost savings while maintaining a minimum of risk.

A Virtual Collaborative Environment for Mars Surveyor Landing Site Studies

Over the past year and a half, the Center for Mars Exploration (CMEX) at NASA Ames Research Center (ARC) has been working with the Mars Surveyor Project Office at JPL to promote interactions among the planetary community and to coordinate landing site activities for the Mars Surveyor Project Office. To date, CMEX has been responsible for organizing the first two Mars Surveyor Landing Site workshops, web-archiving resulting information from these workshops, aiding in science evaluations of candidate landing sites, and serving as a liaison between the community and the Project. Most recently, CMEX has also been working with information technologists at Ames to develop a state-of-the-art collaborative web site environment to foster interaction of interested members of the planetary community with the Mars Surveyor Program and the Project Office. The web site will continue to evolve over the next several years as new tools and features are added to support the ongoing Mars Surveyor missions.
