20 February 2017 Jenny Barna Spire Global 575 Florida St. Suite 150 San Francisco, CA 94110 Re: OA-7 above station deployment approval Dear Jenny, NanoRacks would like to inform you (as demonstrated by the attached minutes) that the Space Station Program is committed to proceeding forward with the intent to deploy no more than four 3U CubeSats from the Orbital ATK 7 Cygnus vehicle after unberthing from the ISS. The post deploy altitude of the CubeSats should be no less than 45 kilometers higher than the ISS orbit. The final payload orbit should be as close to co-elliptic with the ISS as possible. The ability to accomplish this is dependent upon the completion of the required work to enable certification of flight readiness and the availability of sufficient propulsion capability. The availability of propulsion capability will not be known until after launch and berthing of the OA-7 vehicle; however, if the launch and rendezvous profile are as planned, there should be sufficient margin to accomplish the deployment at higher altitude – this is the baseline plan. Best regards, Christopher K. Cummins 555 Forge River Road, Suite 120, Webster, TX 77598

CST Overflow Room: Building 4S/4800 Board Chair: Kirk Shireman Please submit all correspondence to the SSPCB Mailbox at JSC-ISS-SSPCB@mail.nasa.gov SSPCB On-Line Agenda Time Topic Presenter 9:00 15 Min A. ISS Cost Containment Bill Cleek/OH Summary: This presentation provided the status for the ISS Program FY17 budget. The cost data was provided for Phase II of the AMS EVA Repair SSCN being brought forward. There are a total of two open UCAs with no schedule impacts. SSCNs & Cost Topics 9:15 45 Min B. SSCN 15346 -AMS EVA Repair Tara Jochim/XX (Partial Implementation) Summary: This presentation is requesting approval for the Phase 2 (March – September 2017) funding to continue with the AMS EVA Repair. The team provided the current status for the work completed under SSCN 15346 for the design, build and delivery of EVA hardware and operations development for AMS EVA Repair. There are 4 Tracker Thermal Control System (TTCS) Pumps and Pump Controllers split between 2 locations (port and starboard). EVA will bypass and replace the pumps on the starboard side of AMS near ELC2. An overview was provided on the ARGOS testing and tool summary. It was noted that the costs of the project is over the guideline as provided by HEOMD. EA to provide the Program on how funding is modeled for ARGOS and where coming from. Open work does include the 1 of 5 2/9/2017 2:53 PM

https://iss-www.jsc.nasa.gov/nwo/ppco/cbp_sscb/bbt_docs/bbtcal/Summ... processing of an NCR regarding the release of small items during the EVA tasks (example: risk of the three washers with the Valley Tool tasks. Specifics associated with the tasks and activities are identified in the presentation. Disposition: The Board approved SSCN 15346 Phase II funding. The Program needs to discuss the tasks/scenarios risk associated with the AMS prior to hardware being inactive. To prevent harm to the Payloads it was noted that the teams need to look at the possibility of covering the payloads that are located in the areas where tasks are being performed. 10:00 20 Min C. SSCN 15539 SSP 51066 Baseline: ISS Deorbit Charles Gray/OM Strategy and Contingency Action Plan (Full/Final Implementation) Summary: This presentation requests authorization to release SSP 51066, ISS Deorbit Strategy and Contingency Action Plan. The primary sections of the document will encompass the (1) Baseline Assumptions for Nominal and Contingency Deorbit, (2) Nominal ISS Deorbit Plan and (3) Contingency Considerations and Action Plan. Specifics associated with implementation of SSCN 15539 are identified in the presentation. Disposition: The Board approved implementation of SSCN 15539. It was noted that the CD has been posted for IP approval. Special Topics 10:20 30 Min D. OA7 External NRCSD Deploy Candidates Charles Gray/OM (Technical Concurrence) Summary: This presentation characterizes the risk to ISS posed by Cubesats to be deployed above ISS during OA7 Cygnus free Flight. NanoRacks has proposed deploying 4 Lemur Cubesats from OA7 while the Cygnus vehicle is in free flight above ISS. Existing analysis performed for the OA5 case is still valid: NASA Orbital Debris Program Office (ODPO) analysis indicates approximately 1% likelihood of ISS DAM per satellite deployed at ISS inclination above ISS (risk per satellite only lasts while they cross ISS altitude range). The baseline plan is to deploy these 2 of 5 2/9/2017 2:53 PM

https://iss-www.jsc.nasa.gov/nwo/ppco/cbp_sscb/bbt_docs/bbtcal/Summ... satellites at 500 km, but is dependent on Cygnus vehicle capability real time. The team provided an overview of the applicable jettison policy requirements, the attitude profile and projected OA7 decay profile. Specifics associated with the deployment and risks are identified in the presentation. Disposition: The Board approved the deployment. TOPO TIM is in 2-weeks, the Board recommended the team to plan a roadshow to Hqts and FCC (regulatory agency) for informational purposes. It was noted that since the jettison policy is being met this topic will not be presented at the SSCB, IPs are being notified electronically. 10:50 20 Min E. PPD 1011 RB, ISS Jettison Policy Updates Charles Gray/OM (Full/Final Implementation) Summary: This presentation requests approval of the updates incorporated into PPD 1011 Rev. B, ISS Jettison Policy. These updates add clarification to existing requirements and modify some of the older requirements based on experience during the last few years of jettison candidate analysis, approval, and execution. Specifics associated with the updates are identified in the presentation. Disposition: The Board approved PPD 1011 Rev. B. It was noted that the PPD has been posted for IP approval. 11:10 30 Min F. ISS Generic Operational Flight Rules T.J. Creamer/CA8 (Technical Concurrence) Summary: This presentation requests approval of the ISS Operational Flight Rules Volume B Final, PCN-52 Feb 07, 2017, NSTS-12820 which is planned in support of Increment 50 and subsequent operations. This PCN will encompass 50 CRs, 33 rules affected International and/or COTS Partners and were coordinated with and concurred upon by the affected Partner(s). The team provided an overview on the changes being incorporated. Specifics associated with PCN-52 are identified in the presentation. Disposition: The Board approved all but two of the the updates for PCN-52. The EVA Office and Engineering Directorate will obtain clarification on the B15-107 3 of 5 2/9/2017 2:53 PM

https://iss-www.jsc.nasa.gov/nwo/ppco/cbp_sscb/bbt_docs/bbtcal/Summ... update (not to be incorporated at this time). Verification required by the Research Integration Office on the hours identified in in B19-60 (not to be incorporated at this time). Resolution to both will be provided to Kenny Todd for authorization to proceed. 11:40 20 Min G. Manifest Re-engineering Project Status Justin Doyle/OP (Info. Only) Summary: This presentation provides a status on the manifest re-engineering project. The project objective is to plan and execute the manifest to maximize science and technology and to maintain operation of the ISS. Develop a streamlined process that simplifies how commodities are added to and managed on ISS Cargo Vehicles. The team provided an overview on the specific topics which included: (1) New Business Rules, (2) Commodity Queue Structure, (3) High Level Data Flow, (4) Introduction to the Decision Engine, and (5) MIDAS Transition Plan. The scheduled tool deployment is approximately 3 months away. Participation in the User Acceptance Testing scheduled in March is critical to our success, in order to validate the code and to prepare for the new process and tool transition. The MIDAS transition plan will continue to be updated as we move closer to process launch and the FPIP is updated. Specifics associated with the approach and implementation of the new tool are identified in the presentation. Disposition: Information Only.
