1.1Purpose of this Document
The United States Payload Operations Data File (U.S. PODF) Management Plan documents the guidelines and processes for the development, review, maintenance, and control of payload displays, procedures, operations nomenclature, and related products that comprise the U.S. PODF. The charter and scope of authority of the U.S. PODFCB are defined in the Operations Data File (ODF) Management Plan (SSP 50252), which describes the processes for definition, development, and control of all ODF information for the International Space Station (ISS) program. Specific requirements levied on the U.S. PODF in the ODF Management Plan have been met and documented in this plan.
The purpose of this document is to: a) define the products, schedules, and responsibilities involved in producing and operating the U.S. PODF; b) make the process easy to understand and follow; and c) show how the U.S. PODF meets the requirements levied by the ODFCB. This document provides lists of resources that describe how products are developed. The resources include documents and web sites containing detailed instruction, templates, examples, etc.
The latest version of the U.S. PODF Management Plan resides on the Payload Operations Integration Function (POIF) web site. A copy of the document also resides on the Program Automated Library System (PALS) web site. See Table 1-2 for web site addresses.
1.2How to Use This Document
The U.S. PODF Management Plan provides a road map and reference guide to the parties responsible for developing and qualifying payload deliverables as ready for flight. Read Section 2 in its entirety for a comprehensive overview of the products (deliverables), schedules, and responsibilities under the umbrella of the U.S. PODF Control Board (U.S. PODFCB). Section 2 clearly states what comprises the U.S. PODF, what is presented in detail in this document, and where to find topics not covered in detail in this document.
Processes in this document are presented in sequence and should be worked in the order they occur. Each section contains an overview, schedule, concurrent activities, deliverables, responsibilities, review, approval (baselining), and reference material. This document is intended to make the processes easy to understand and follow.
The lessons for successfully developing products and qualifying them for flight are:
- develop the Operations Concept using a rigorous operations analysis approach before developing displays and procedures
- follow the sequence of processes laid out in this document; don't try to delay or omit one
- develop collaborative working relationships early with other team members and take advantage of their experience.
1.3Scope
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Agenzia Spaziale Italiana (ASI), and Agencia Espacial Brasileira (AEB) shall abide by this plan for all U.S. PODF related activities. The Russian Space Agency (RSA), European Space Agency (ESA), and Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) shall abide by this plan for all multi-element payload procedures.
1.4Change Authority
This plan was developed under the authority vested in the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) Flight Projects Directorate (FPD) and the POIF by the ODFCB.

1.7Publication and Revision of this Document
The POIF at MSFC is responsible for overseeing the preparation, coordination, and maintenance of this document. The Chairperson of the U.S. PODFCB approves this document and all changes to it after approval by the U.S. PODFCB members. Annex 1 Payload Automated Procedures to this document is published separately.
Any changes to this document should be submitted by ECR to the U.S. PODFCB Chairperson. If there are comments or questions on this plan, contact the appropriate book manager.
1.8Effectivity of Document
The information, requirements and processes described in this document are effective beginning with Increment 8.
1.9Resolution of Issues
If a situation arises where the payload developer (PD) does not believe that the Crew Operations team point of contact (for OpNom, displays, or procedures) has adequately addressed their concern, the issue should be discussed with the U.S. PODFCB Chairperson.
1.10Export Control of the U.S. Payload Operations Data File (PODF)
The U.S. PODFCB will control the release of information to foreign persons as laid out in the SSP 58334 FD32 Configuration Management (CM) Plan for Payload Operations Integration. All documentation will be classified and controlled according to Export Control laws as defined by CFR 15 and CFR 22. CM personnel may use the services provided by NASA Center Export Representatives (CERs) to determine the eligibility of reviewers. The contents of the PODF and supporting documents are classified as EAR99 with no export license required. The MSFC Export Representative granted this classification in May 2001.
2.OVERVIEW OF U.S. PODF
This section defines the products (deliverables) which are included in the U.S. Payload Operations Data File (PODF), the teams that manage development of the products, the life cycle of a product, and reference material.

2.1Contents of U.S. PODF
The U.S. PODF is the collection of payload procedures and related products that support International Space Station (ISS) payload operations under the umbrella of the U.S. PODF Control Board (U.S. PODFCB). The U.S. PODF addresses interfaces related to payloads including manual, ground, and automated procedures, displays, and related products. This includes not only U.S. payload procedures, but also ASI and AEB payload procedures. The procedures contained in the U.S. PODF are used by flight controllers, the onboard crew, and the automated procedure executor software to operate and maintain ISS payloads and payload support systems.
The payload developer (PD) team is the key player in the development of these products. Figure 2.1 illustrates the break out of products for ISS payload operations. Functions identified in the operations concept (see section 3) are allocated to the resource that best meets the payload objectives: crew activity, ground activity, or automated control. The products are then developed under the management (or coordination) of four teams, the Crew Operations, SOC, OC and CDS teams. The information presented in this document is grouped by the team that manages the development of the product.
Figure 2-1 Overview of U. S. PODF Products
U.S. PODF products are managed by four teams: Crew Operations, SOC, OC, and CDS.
Those products managed by Crew Operations are addressed in detail in this document.
2.2Initial Contact between POIF and Payload Developer (PD)
The Mission Integration organization assigns a Payload Integration Manager (PIM) to serve as an advocate who guides the PD in executing his or her roles and responsibilities during the payload development process. As the initial contact from Mission Integration to the PD, the PIM coordinates PD activities, including Export Compliance activities, the negotiated schedule, Integration Agreements (IAs), Interface Control Documents (ICDs), and Payload Verification Plans (PVPs). For more information on PIMs, go to the PMIT web site, look under Flight Assignments, and click on PIM assignments. A Payload Processes Overview is available on the OZ2 web site under Miscellaneous; Road Show.
PMIT web site:
OZ2 web site:
The Payload Operations Integration Center (POIC) Operations Technical Interchange Meeting (TIM) generally serves as the first working meeting between the PD and most of the Payload Operations Integration Function (POIF) teams. The POIF first contact briefings are presented at this operations TIM. It introduces the PD to the processes for displays, procedures, safety, stowage, labels, training, crew office, and operations control. The PD provides payload information, and the POIF teams provide resources information. Subsequent Training Strategy Team (TST) TIM meetings include only a subset of POIF teams. The TST TIMs are implemented via the Payload Training Implementation Plan (PTIP). See the POIF web site for POIF team contacts. The agendas for the TIMs are published in the PTIP SSP 58309, Appendix C NASA P/L Training Strategy Team Guidelines; see the POIF web site.
2.3Products: Overview and Definitions
Table 2-1 lists teams, the PODF-related products they manage, residency, and controlling authority. For more information on teams see section 2.4. For more information on the Payload Information System (PIMS) Mission, Operational Support Mode, and Project (MOP), see Section 7.2. Figures 2-2 and 2-3 illustrate the integrated process for the Crew Operations team -managed products for subrack payloads and facility class payloads. Tables listing deliverables (products) and template due dates for which the PD is responsible are in section 2.4.1.
