2、Responsibilities for Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) ProgramLesson(s) Learned: In planning for SOFIA operations, aviation safety and flight personnel have had minimal involvement.Recommendation(s): Involve cognizant aviation safety and flight personnel in SOFIA planning and

3、development on a routine basis.Evidence of Recurrence Control Effectiveness: The SOFIA Program has maintained involvement of aviation safety and flight personnel, from both NASA and UAL, from the beginning of development. However, to ensure that no potential problem areas are over-looked, the progra

4、m has recently taken steps to increase the involvement of aviation safety and flight personnel.The SOFIA prime contractor has elevated senior aviation operations experts into the operations planning process during the development phase. Also, additional senior aviation operations personnel at UAL, t

Further, the level of inclusion of the NASA SOFIA Flight Operations Manager, a senior and experienced operations Provided by IHSNot for ResaleN

If additional measures are determined to be necessary to ensure adequate involvement of aviation safety and flight personnel, for instance as the responsibilities and staffing of the newly created ARC Aviation Management Office are clarified, they will be implemented.A furthe

8、r step that has been taken at NASA Headquarters is the establishment of a SOFIA External Independent Readiness Review (EIRR) Team by the Associate Administrator for Space Science. EIRRs are used by NASA to support the responsible Associate Administrators oversight of approved programs, wherein a sma

Although the scope of the SOFIA EIRR is intentionally broad to cover such program issues as science utility, engineering integration, and mission risk, a third of it
