4.2.4 GSFC is responsible for generating, refining and maintaining all
design documentation pertaining to the SMMS systems.
STP will
have direct access to contractor documentation.
4.2.5 NASA will notify STP for all SMMS system level reviews and important
subsystem design meetings.
4.2.6 STP will be responsible for maintaining the currency of STP requirements
as related to the SM4S systems.
4.3 STP ACCEPT)ANCE POLICIES FOR SMMS SYSTEMS
4.3.1 STP is the DOD authority for the acceptance of any SM4S system.
4.3.2 Specific conditions for acceptance will be established by GSFC for
each SM 4S system. The general criteria guidelines for acceptance
of SMMS systems include:
4.3.2.1 conformance with system requirements,
4.3.2.2 conformance with approved acceptance test procedures,
4.3.2.3 subsystems operating histories, and
4.3.2.4 component qualification status.
Software acceptance is conditional on planned verification test cases
and Joint GSFC and STP validation requirements.
4.3.3 After STP acceptance of an SMl4S system, STP and its mission contractor
will assumie primary responsibility for the hardware and the mission
integration and checkout activities.
4. 3.4 After STP acceptance of SMMS systems, NASA will retain responsibility
and financial liability for insurin; these systems are compatible
with the FTS.
