Status Report From: Johnson Space Center
Posted: Thursday, March 6, 2008

1.1 PURPOSE

This document provides the assignment of flight dates, resources and accommodations, as well as defines the requirements for Increment 16 in Planning Period 7. Requirements are provided for both joint International Space Station (ISS)/mated vehicle operations and ISS-only continuous operations stages of the increment.

The schedule for products (i.e., documentation, reviews, etc.) that must be developed to support Increment 16 is found in the Common Schedule Database (CSD). The requirements contained herein shall be used in the execution of the flight and stage Certification of Flight Readiness (CoFR) processes carried out by each ISS supporting organization.

1.2 SCOPE

This document covers Increment 16, beginning with the launch of the E16 Commander (CDR) and Flight Engineer-1 (FE-1) on Flight 15 Soyuz and ends with their departure on Flight 15 Soyuz.

The E16 Flight Engineer (FE)-2 (10A) is launched on Flight 10A and replaces the previous E15/16 FE-2 (13A). E16 FE-2 (10A) returns on Flight 1E during Increment 16. The E16 FE-2 (1E) is launched on Flight 1E and replaces the E16 FE-2 (10A). E16/17 FE-2 (1J/A) launches on Flight 1J/A, replaces the E16 FE-2 (1E) and returns in the strategic timeframe. Note that the Flight that returns the crew has requirements, including those for crew rotation specified in SSP 54016.

This document defines the capabilities and objectives of Increment 16. This document also controls the following: resource and accommodation allocations between assembly, system, and utilization; requirements and priorities for ISS execution planning; ISS manifest (Increment Definition and Requirements Document for Increment (IDRD) for Increment 16, Annex 1: Station Manifest (SSP 54016-15S , SSP 54016-10A, SSP 54016-1E, SSP 54016-27P , SSP 54016-28P , SSP 54016-1J/A); On-Orbit Maintenance Plan (SSP 54016-ANX 2 , Increment Definition and Requirements Document for Increment 16, Annex 2: On-Orbit Maintenance Plan); ISS imagery requirements (SSP 54016-ANX 3 , Increment Definition and Requirements Document for Increment 16, Annex 3: Imagery Requirements); medical operations (SSP 54016-ANX 4 , Increment Definition and Requirements Document for Increment 16, Annex 4: Medical Operations and Environmental Monitoring); and payloads (SSP 54016-ANX 5, Increment Definition and Requirements Document for Increment 16, Annex 5: Payload Tactical Plan). The above mentioned documents are published as separate documents.
