An implementation plan for the Orbiting Deep Space Relay Station (ODSRS) is described. A comparison of ODSRS life cycle costs to other configuration options meeting future communication requirements is presented.
Top-down implementation plan provides a methodology for solving problems in or aiding software engineering design.
The Science and Implementation Plan of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet Initiative (WAIS) is described. The goal of this initiative is the prediction of the future behavior of this ice sheet and an assessment of its potential to collapse, rapidly raising global sea level. The multidisciplinary nature of WAIS reflects the complexity of the polar ice sheet environment. The project builds upon past and current polar studies in many fields and meshes with future programs of both the U.S. and other countries. Important tasks in each discipline are described and a coordinated schedule by which the majority of these tasks can be accomplished in 5 years is presented. The companion report (Volume 2) contains seven discipline review papers on the state of knowledge of Antarctica and opinions on how that knowledge must be increased to attain the WAIS goal.
This Land Use Control Implementation Plan (LUCIP) has been prepared to inform current and potential future users of Building M7-505 of institutional controls that have been implemented at the site. Although there are no current unacceptable risks to human health or the environment associated with Building M7-505, institutional land use controls (LUCs) are necessary to prohibit the use of groundwater from the site. LUCs are also necessary to prevent access to soil under electrical equipment in the northwest portion of the site. Controls necessary to prevent human exposure will include periodic inspection, condition certification, and agency notification.
This Land Use Control Implementation Plan (LUCIP) has been prepared to inform current and potential future users of the Corrosion Atmospheric Exposure Facility (CAEF) of institutional controls that have been implemented at the site. 1 Although most areas at CAEF do not pose current unacceptable risks to human health or the environment, areas of arsenic-impacted soil exceeding the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (Florida DEP) residential soil cleanup target levels (SCTLs) have been identified. Institutional land use controls (LUCs) are necessary to prevent contact with surface and subsurface soils at the site. Controls will include periodic inspection, condition certification, and agency notification.
This document presents the implementation plan for Ames Research Center (ARC) within the overall framework of the NASA Strategic Plan. It describes how ARC intends to implement its Center of Excellence responsibilities, Agency assigned missions, Agency and Enterprise lead programs, and other roles in support of NASA's vision and mission. All Federal agencies are required by the 1993 Government Performance and Results Act to implement a long-term strategic planning process that includes measurable outcomes and strict accountability. At NASA, this planning process is shaped by the Space Act of 1958, annual appropriations, and other external mandates, as well as by customer requirements. The resulting Strategic Plan sets the overall architecture for what we do, identifies who our customers are, and directs where we are going and why. The Strategic Plan is the basis upon which decisions regarding program implementation and resource deployment are made. Whereas the strategic planning process examines the long-term direction of the organization and identifies a specific set of goals, the implementation planning process examines the detailed performance of the organization and allocates resources toward meeting these goals. It is the purpose of this implementation document to provide the connection between the NASA Strategic Plan and the specific programs and support functions that ARC employees perform. This connection flows from the NASA Strategic Plan, through the various Strategic Enterprise plans to the ARC Center of Excellence, primary missions, Lead Center programs, program support responsibilities, and ultimately, to the role of the individual ARC employee.
This Interim Land Use Control Implementation Plan (LUCIP) has been prepared to inform current and potential future users of the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Contractors Road Heavy Equipment (CRHE) Area (SWMU 055; "the Site") of institutional controls that have been implemented at the Site1. Although there are no current unacceptable risks to human health or the environment associated with the CRHE Area, an interim institutional land use control (LUC) is necessary to prevent human health exposure to volatile organic compound (VOC)-affected groundwater at the Site. Controls will include periodic inspection, condition certification, and agency notification.
This Land Use Control Implementation Plan (LUCIP) has been prepared to inform current and potential future users of the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Shuttle Flight Operations Contract Generator Maintenance Facility (SFOC; SWMU 081; "the Site") of institutional controls that have been implemented at the Site1. Although there are no current unacceptable risks to human health or the environment associated with the SFOC, an institutional land use control (LUC) is necessary to prevent human health exposure to antimony-affected groundwater at the Site. Controls will include periodic inspection, condition certification, and agency notification.
Voyager spacecraft construction scheduling and implementation planning - management, logistics, and auditing review
This Implementation Plan provides a snapshot of NASA’s plans to implement the strategy recommended in OWL and to address the M2M objectives relevant to lunar science. The word “integrated” in the title refers to integrating the capabilities and new opportunities afforded by Artemis and CLPS alongside more traditional mechanisms such as The Discovery and New Frontiers Programs and various Research and Analysis (R&A) elements to achieve our lunar science objectives. It is an opportunity to present the full scope of tools currently available to NASA and how they map to high-priority lunar science that can be accomplished on and at the Moon. It is also an opportunity to build a plan for future NASA-led, lunar focused science and exploration activities that is flexible and can be adapted to a changing landscape (i.e., capability growth, priority evolution, and budgetary fluctuation).
The purpose of this Science and Implementation Plan is to describe GAPP science objectives and the activities required to meet these objectives, both specifically for the near-term and more generally for the longer-term. The GEWEX Americas Prediction Project (GAPP) is part of the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) initiative that is aimed at observing, understanding and modeling the hydrological cycle and energy fluxes at various time and spatial scales. The mission of GAPP is to demonstrate skill in predicting changes in water resources over intraseasonal-to-interannual time scales, as an integral part of the climate system.
Land Use Control (LUC) Inspections Report 2021 for John F. Kennedy Space Center(KSC), Florida. This letter report documents the quarterly LUC inspections the KSC Remediation Group conducts at sites with approved LUC Implementation Plans (LUCIPs). Land Use Control Inspections Report 2022 for John F. Kennedy Space Center, FL. This Land Use Control Implementation Plan (LUCIP) has been prepared to inform current and potential future users of Wilson Corners of institutional controls that have been implemented at the site. Although there are no current unacceptable risks to human health or the environment associated with Wilson Corners, institutional land use controls (LUCs) are necessary to prohibit the use of groundwater. Controls will include periodic inspection, condition certification and agency notification.
The top down implementation plan used for the development of system performance test software during the Mark IV-A era is described. The plan is based upon the identification of the hierarchical relationship of the individual elements of the software design, the development of a sequence of functionally oriented demonstrable steps, the allocation of subroutines to the specific step where they are first required, and objective status reporting. The results are: determination of milestones, improved managerial visibility, better project control, and a successful software development.
