IRVINE02 organization and operations plan

1. The Irvine CubeSat STEM Program (ICSP) maintains a mutually supportive and long-
term relationship with the 18th Space Control Squadron (18SCS). Our procedure to
submit a planned maneuver starts with an email from a teacher to Space-Track.org,
containing a summary of what is planned, any preliminary orbital simulation results, and
the timing for the maneuver. The maneuver is then executed, followed up by a
comparison with the 18SPC to verify the outcome afterwards. Their point of contact
(POC) for this communication is listed in #3. Our points of contact are:

POC: Archana Jain
Email: archanajain@iusd.org
Phone: (949) 936-7067
Address: Irvine High School
4321 Walnut Avenue, Irvine, CA 92604

Backup: Jennifer Blackie
Email: jennifer.blackie@iusd.org
Phone: (949) 936-7952
Address: Woodbridge High School
2 Meadowbrook, Irvine, CA 92614

In the event that a second/backup adult is needed, we let JSpOC know ahead of that
planned absence. For example, when Ms. Blackie was on extended travel during the
Summer, Dr. Brent Freeze substituted for her. The ICSP has at least two adult POCs
listed in the Space-Track contacts database, which the 18SPC maintains at all times.


2. The adult responsible for radio operations is the teacher in charge of Team
Communications:
POC: Jennifer Blackie
Email: jennifer.blackie@iusd.org
Phone: (949) 936-7952
Address: Woodbridge High School
2 Meadowbrook, Irvine, CA 92614

She coordinates radio communication remotely via the CalPoly ground station, operated
by Prof. John Bellardo's team in San Luis Obispo, California. Their POC's are on file
with the FCC.


3. Our point of contact for JSpOC reports to the 18th Space Control Squadron, as those
two organizations work together "hand in hand" from the same location. She can be
reached at:

Cynthia Wilson
SSA Sharing Coordinator
18th Space Control Squadron


Vandenberg Air Force Base, California
Phone: (805) 605-5219
Email: cynthia.wilson.8@us.af.mil
jspoc.ssasharing@us.af.mil


4. The attached organizational chart shows which teachers and adults advise the ICSP,
in particular operations, along with their mentoring organizations. The credentials of the
main and backup contact persons for 18SPS/JSpOC via Space-Track.org are
summarized here:

       Archana Jain received her Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering
       from the University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland and subsequent
       credentials in Mathematics from California State University in Fullerton,
       California. Before becoming a teacher at Irvine High School, her previous
       career was as a Systems and Orbital Dynamics Engineer at Rockwell
       International's Space Systems Division in Downey, California. She worked
       on a number of programs including the Space Shuttle, the Manned Lunar
       Mars Exploration Program, and the Brilliant Eyes Program (for defense
       satellites). Prior to that she worked at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in
       White Oak, Maryland, as an Aerospace Engineer in the Flight Mechanics
       Group of the Reentry Systems Branch. She has lead Team Propulsion at
       Irvine High School since the inception of the ICSP in 2015. Accion Systems
       began mentoring her in their thruster products in 2016. Ms. Jain is the
       primary point of contact for JSpOC via spacetrack.

       Jennifer Blackie received her Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and
       subsequent teaching credentials from the University of California in
       Irvine. She has since taught subjects at Woodbridge High School in
       chemistry and physics, as well as been an advisor to the robotics team for
       the First Tech Challenge and Mini Urban Challenge competitions. She
       maintains an amateur radio license and encourages many of her students to
       take up ham radio. She has managed Team Communications at
       Woodbridge High School since the inception of the ICSP in 2015, including
       all student field trips to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo for satcomm radio tests for
       IRVINE01 and IRVINE02. They began mentoring her in their UHF radio and
       protocols in 2016. Ms. Blackie is the secondary point of contact for JSpOC
       via spacetrack.

Each team has approximately 25 students, split into two subgroups that are assigned
tasks by their teacher. This is represented by the light blue lowest tier in the ICSP Org
Chart.


5. David Tovani will email responses to the questions regarding the thruster.
