5.2.1.1 NASA has developmental responsibility and financial liability for
the flight support system of the SMMS. DOD will fund NASA for the
recurring production costs of FSS for STP use.
5.2.1.2 Based on the STP mission frequency, cost and availability of NAA
equipnent, DOD Is
liable for user charges for the lease of flight
support equipment at a mutually acceptable rate.
5.2.2 Ground Suvport Eouinment
5.2.2.1 NASA has developmental responsibility and financial liability for
the ground support equipment ((SE) of the SMIS.
DOD will fund NASA
for the recurring production costs of GSE for STP use.
5.2.2.2 Based on the STP mission frequency, cost and availability of NASA
equipment, DOD is liable for user charges for the lease of ground
support equipment at a mutually acceptable rate.
5.3 SMMS SYSTEMS SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION
5-3.1 NASA is responsible for the costs attendant to the development and
test of all SMMS
systems software and SMtS documentation.
5.3.2 DOD is rc:-ponsible for the cost required to tailor the StS software
and documentation needed to satisfy unique STP mission requirements.
5.4 SMMS SYSTEMS DESIGN CHANlF;S
5.4.1 Pre-aw rrd Phase: NASA bears the responsibility and financial
liability for the costs of design changes during the pre-award phase.
5.1..2 Developmcnt Phase: NASA and DOD are responsible and cost liable as
