  14. GQR Features • The GQR Platform benefits Earth Science, Space Science & Space Weather • Geostationary Earth platforms provides information over shorter timescale compared to LEO sensors, which is needed for many science investigations • GQR team support scientists and other payload users with concept development, proposal support & implementation • GQR a Mission of Opportunity (MO) option to the upcoming SMEX, MIDEX, & ESSP AO • GQR a limited Low Cost Access to Space (LCAS) option to the ROSES NRA LCAS option • Low-cost features of GQR: • GQR Payloads can be implement as Class D missions • GQR Payloads can allow Grade 3 parts • Single string / single point failures are acceptable • Adopt an insight, not an oversight approach to contract management • Flight proven components available through RSDO catalog • GQR may have as many as 20+ launches/year • Dedicated GEO science missions are cost prohibitive. GQR enables a new class of science missions (Earth Science, Space Science, & Solar Science)

  20. NASA/GSFC IDC Rapid Design Approach is a Tightly Coupled, Iterative Process • Client Requirements: • Science Goals • Instrument Characteristics • Mission Baseline Concepts • Integrated collaborative, concurrent design process • Continuous intensive interactions • Consider all phases of life-cycle • During the study, information exchanged in virtual real time across all elements • Active role of the Customer • A primary reason the process comes to closure so quickly, and results map well to customer needs • Customer presence throughout study period is desired • Frequent checks of status and coordination among all parties • Including both Customer and IDC teams TL, SE, and Customer IMDC Disciplines shown, ISAL Disciplines are somewhat different; however, basically the same process used in both environments
