Title: ISS REPLAN – Environmental Health System – Air Quality Monitoring
Description: Increased risk of crew health impacts due to decreased monitoring schedule. Loss of sample to have been manifested on Soyuz increases risk. Loss of second Volatile Organic Analyzer channel increases risk. ‘Core’ CHeCS manifest for return samples on Soyuz should be allocated. No VOA IFM is possible.

7/22/03
Acoustics – IRMA 4119 OM Delays Acoustic Abatement Plan – Funding issues are being resolved at HQ.
Specific personal equipment needs are being satisfied with ear plugs and the BOSE noise reduction system.
Exercise Countermeasures – On-orbit hardware maintenance and enhancements are being support with the limited volume and mass available with Russian vehicles.
Meaningful Work – With the limited volume and mass on Russian vehicles, on orbit activities are planned to meet the astronauts desires.
Behavior Health and Performance — Crew Care packages have received a high priority. The volume allocated for Crew Care has be increased.
Fresh Food Availability — With the limited volume, mass and late load capability on Russian vehicles, fresh food is requested.
Menu Cycle – The cycle has been changed from 8 to a 10 day cycle. Bonus food containers have been added an placed high on the priority to launch manifest.
Radiation – Reference IRMA Risk 3912 OM.
5/27/03 – Behavioral Health and Performance — Recent TIMs with the Russians have not produced an agreement on Sleep Shifting vs Slam Shift. SA’s research indicates a risk in performance using Slam Shift.
Acoustics — Ref. IRMA 4119. Waiver 3678R1 (SM Acoustics) has expired. A waive extension is needed until the acoustic modification/remediation is performed. Funding for remediation is under way. Hardware procured for the SM has been transfered to OC for delivery to RSC-E.
References to other IRAM items has been added to Mitigation Plans.
5/5/03 – Mitigation Plan Overviews for Acoustics, Integrated Exercise Countermeasures and Behavioral Health and Performance are modified. Add 6. Radiation
12/17/2002 – OS transferred this concnern to Space an Life Sciences for further development, mitigation. and management.
12//06/2002 – The Integrated Risk has been developed to document the risks associated with ISS Missions and impacts to crew health and safety. With fewer Shuttle vehicles available, Increment Durations have been driven to longer timeframes. The ISSP is currently attempting to maintain the GGR&C requirement of mission maximums of no more than 180 days. This Risk Mitigation Plan is an attempt to improve the environment and meet requirements in order to protect the crew during their missions.
As ISSP products are released for evaluation (Assembly Sequence Changes , IDRDs, Timelines, Manifests, etc.), this Risk can be used to evaluate the product or CR against the plan’s implementation status. If the plan is being implemented per agreements and timeframes, this Risk can be used to approve the product/CR(s) to proceed referencing the RIsk and its implementation being met. If, however, the Risk plan is not being implemented per agreements, a decision will be made as to the action plan necessary and disposition. The Risk Status will then be updated with rationale and disposition.
This Risk can also be used to evaluate IDRD task and priority and ensure the Risk Mitigation Plan is being implemented as a crew safety and health priority through the IDRD.
All plan changes’updates will be discussed with Risk Owner and Affected Orgs, agreed and documented. Separate from this risk but in addition to the above near-term plan, the ISSP will continue to pursue a long-range plan that focuses on further enhancing the capability of the ISS to support longer duration missions.
Each Risk has an Actionee named who is responsible for managing and integrating the lower level details not contained in this Risk.
Targeted completion of Risk Mitigation Implementation is Increment 9.

Title: Microbial Contamination of ISS Water System
Description: Due to the design of the potable water system in the ISS, there is a risk that the delivered water to ISS may be contaminated or that the water system becomes contaminated on board. The potable water is sampled periodically to assure that the water is safe for crew consumption. However, the water sampling has not been accomplished according to the sampling requirements in the Medical Operations Requirements Document SSP 50260. (Sampling frequency in Table 5.2-2) Current capability on orbit to detect Colony Forming Units (CFU) is from 0-300 CFU’100 ml. Recent studies suggest that this limit can be modified to not greater than 5000 CFU’100ml. Monitoring at these levels is not possible with the current hardware.
Risk Owner: Meyer, Richard
Likelihood: 3
Consequence: 0(C), 0(S), 4(T)
Impact/Consequence: There is potential for crew to consume unsafe water prior to detection of unsafe constituents. This could cause a health problem that may require emergency return of the crewmember.

Current Status: 9/9/03 Continues work on the WMK upgrade for 14P.
No progress on water filter for RSC-E.
7/22/03 Improve On-orbit WMK capability – SF, EB, and OB are continuing to work on an upgrade solution to the WMK. Ref CR SSCN 7915. Working towards 14P launch. Tight schedule.
Provide water filtering capability @ RSC-E — RSC-Energia has not provided all of the engineering data for their water system will not allow NASA access to the area. Without this data SF will have difficulty in specifying a filter.
5/27/03 On-orbit monitoring hardware is being designed/evaluated by EB. Proposal from EB to OB expected by June 30. Expected launch NET 13P.
SF is evaluating Water Filtering Hardware to be used for water manifested on Soyuz/Progresses. Expected date for presentation of proposed system to OC/Team 0 is July 15h.
The Russians agreed to accept a US provided water filter system.
5/5/03 Forward Work: 1) EB/SF to discuss with OB the Microbial Detection Flight Hardware development. 2)EB/SF to work with Team O to discuss the “donation” of water filtration equipment to RSC-E for ISS water.
SLSD worked with the HEDS Independent Assurance Team to understand the scope of the issue. The report was completed on June 12, 2002 and briefed to SA management and the ECLS Team on July 31, 2002. The Team recommended upgrading watch item to Risk.
– Implement filtering of water prior to loading for spacecraft. Currently done at KSC. Agreement in place for water delivery for ATV and HTV. Agreement in place but not implemented for Progress.
-Working to modify Water Microbial Kit in CHeCS to implement monitoring of 5000 CFU/100ml and to detect coliforms.
– Cost estimates in this risk are not reliable at this time.

Title: ISS REPLAN – Environmental Health – Radiation Monitoring
Description: Loss of radiation area monitoring and TEPC due to constrained up/down logistics resources. Increases potential for crew health issues.
Risk Owner: Meyer, Richard
Likelihood: 5
Consequence: 1(C), 2(S), 3(T)
Impact/Consequence: Lower ability to measure radiation levels in particular spacecraft locations.
Lower radiation levels because of relationship to Solar Min, and other radiation dosimeters, sch as Crew Personal on 6S manifest, will have to suffice.

8/5/03
SA requested manifesting the TEPC on 13P. The TEPC waiver will expire Nov 03.
7/22/03
5/27/03 — The TEPC waiver will expire 1/04. SA is requesting TEPC be available on orbit 1/04 to start evaluating radiation prior to Solar Min. TEPC was removed from 12P due to the cost of certification for launch on a Ruissian vehicle. CPD is the only radiation monitor in use for Inc 7.
5/9/03 — Risk accepted for 11P. TEPC funding from OB was cut from 3 EP to .75 EP for FY03 and FY 04. Impact of the cut is being evaluated. TEPC has been placed on the 12P manifest as a mandatory item. TEPC needs to be on ISS and functioning by 12/03 to start analysis as we enter into Solar Min.
