Columbia Impact: Groundrules and Assumptions (Internal ISS program)

Source: ISS Monthly Program Review, Vol. 131, 11 April 2003, Page 5

All program metrics are being measured against these groundrules and assumptions as of
4/01/03. The Plans below are for planning purposes within the ISSP only – As they are
modified, this page will be changed accordingly.

• Make no significant changes in ISS implementation (at least not until flight date is known)
• Hold schedule for active development tasks (avoid deferral penalty)
• Reevaluate new development and new spares planning
• Reevaluate planned manpower reductions for sustaining/operational areas
• Station will resume flight rate upon launch of ULF 1
• Station will remain manned (2 – 3 crew during delay, 3 crew after) and will perform critical EVAs
• Assume SSCB recommended Progress flight schedule: one additional Progress vehicle in FY03 and one additional Progress vehicle in FY04
• Use the planning dates below for metric reporting
