- Helped NASA maintain real-time situational awareness, support technical decision-making, document mission performance, and capture lessons learned for Artemis III and future missions.
Our Experience
- This work is currently being conducted by a team of program managers, test and evaluation, electrical, and systems engineers.
Our Performance
- Our work includes interfacing with the larger MDA community including Ground-based Midcourse Defense Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), and Technical Direction Agent (TDA) personnel working at various Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) in technical interchanges with the prime contractor on engineering topics while considering how the engineering trades affects mass, performance, reliability, survivability, concept of operations (ConOps), and program cost and schedule.
- TriVector’s engineering assessments include determining Technology Readiness Level (TRL) for new technologies that increase the likelihood of NGI intercepting targets.
Our Value
- TriVector SMEs have aided the NGI Gold Program Office with Earned Value Management (EVM) by participating in EVM meetings with the prime contractor and the subcontractors and interviewing the Cost Account Managers (CAMs) directly on design, prototype, and test efforts.
- Specific engineering topics for which TriVector SMEs have made significant contributions are Nuclear Radiation Survivability, Sensors, Avionics, and Lethality.
Our Performance
- We developed an algorithm to derive the time of the lab clock when SLS flight computer clocks cross T-0, with sub-millisecond accuracy (needed for precise data analyses).
- Leveraging the relationship between timestamps on MIL-STD-1553 buses, we initially prototyped the algorithm as a macro, tested it among a small NASA group, and obtained buy-in from NASA leadership.
- TriVector led Huntsville Operations Support Center (HOSC) and SLS Propulsion engineers to automate the solution as the standard reference for all test reports.
Our Value
- This solution automatically provides a consistent reference time for avionics test datasets from the various SLS avionics labs.
- Standardizing and automating Lab T-0 has saved thousands of hours annually, thus expediting SLS avionics test analyses and requirements verification.
- Jacobs management recognized TriVector’s technical accomplishments by announcing us as the winner of the Edwin F. Connors Award, awarded to for outstanding contributions by an individual or team that improves the quality of NASA support.
