THE NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION HAS SELECTED JUNO NEW FRONTIERS MISSION UNDER THE DIRECTION OF PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR (PI) DR. SCOTT BOLTON TO CONTINUE DEVELOPMENT WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT THE JUNO MISSION WILL ENTER PHASE B IN EARLY FISCAL YEAR 2006. THE JUNO MISSION WILL BE MANAGED BY THE MARSHALL SPACE FLIGHT CENTER, NEW FRONTIERS PROGRAM OFFICE. KEY JUNO TEAM MEMBERS INCLUDE DR. BOLTON'S HOME INSTITUTION, THE SOUTHWEST RESEARCH INSTITUTE (SWRI), THE JUNO IMPLEMENTATION TEAM LEADER JET PROPULSION LABORATORY (JPL) AND THE SPACECRAFT BUS PROVIDER THE LOCKHEED MARTIN SPACE SYSTEMS DIVISION (LM/SS). THE PI'S TEAM AT SWRI NEEDS TO BEGIN WORK ON A SUBSET OF PHASE B ACTIVITIES AS EARLY IN FY06 AS POSSIBLE. THIS SOW PROVIDES A LIST OF ACTIVITIES THAT ARE NECESSARY TO BEGIN WORK IN FY06 AND THEIR ASSOCIATED DELIVERABLES. THE JUNO MISSION IS A COLLABORATION BETWEEN SOUTHWEST RESEARCH INSTITUTE (SWRI), JPL, LOCKHEED MARTIN (LM), AND A COMPLEMENTARY TEAM OF UNIVERSITIES AND FIELD CENTERS. THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR, DR. SCOTT BOLTON, IS AT SOUTHWEST RESEARCH INSTITUTE (SWRI) AND IS RESPONSIBLE TO NASA FOR ALL ASPECTS OF THE MISSION INCLUDING ACHIEVING ALL SCIENTIFIC OBJECTIVES AND MISSION GOALS. JPL PROVIDES THE PROJECT MANAGER WHO OVERSEES THE DAY-TO-DAY MANAGEMENT OF THE PROJECT AND WILL REPORT TO THE PI. PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR (PI) DR. SCOTT BOLTON IS RESPONSIBLE TO NASA FOR MEETING THE SCIENTIFIC OBJECTIVES OF THE JUNO MISSION WITHIN COST AND SCHEDULE. AS PI, DR. BOLTON HAS DIRECT ACCOUNTABILITY TO THE NASA NEW FRONTIERS PROGRAM OFFICE FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF JUNO. ALL JUNO SCIENCE CO-IS, THE DEPUTY PI AND PROJECT SCIENTIST, THE SCIENCE INVESTIGATION OFFICE MANAGER, THE E/PO EFFORT, THE JUNO ADVISORY BOARD AND THE PM REPORT DIRECTLY TO DR. BOLTON. THE PI DELEGATES THE DAY-TO-DAY MANAGEMENT OF THE PROJECT TO THE PROJECT MANAGER (PM), RICK GRAMMIER. THE PROJECT SYSTEM ENGINEER, PAYLOAD MANAGER, FLIGHT SYSTEM MANAGER, MISSION MANAGER, SCIENCE OPS CENTER, BUSINESS MANAGER, LM CONTRACT CTM, AND MISSION ASSURANCE MANAGER ALL REPORT DIRECTLY TO THE PM.

INTERFACE REGION IMAGING SPECTROGRAPH (IRIS). THE CONTRACTOR SHALL REFINE AND EVOLVE THE CONTRACTOR'S COST ESTIMATE FOR PHASES B-F FOR THE INTERFACE REGION IMAGING SPECTROGRAPH (IRIS) MISSION SUBMITTED IN RESPONSE TO NASA ANNOUNCEMENT OF OPPORTUNITY #NNH07ZDA003O FOR THE EXPLORERS PROJECTS DIVISION. THE PRIMARY TASKS IN PHASE B WILL INCLUDE THE GENERATION AND PRESENTATION OF THE SYSTEMS REQUIREMENTS REVIEW (SRR) AND THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN REVIEW (PDR). IN ORDER TO SUPPORT THESE REVIEWS, THE CONCEPT DEFINITION EFFORTS SHALL ENCOMPASS THE WORK REQUIRED TO UPDATE AND REFINE THE PROPOSAL'S SCIENCE INVESTIGATION OBJECTIVES AND PLANS (IF NECESSARY), INSTRUMENT AND SPACECRAFT CONCEPTS AND PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS, AND SCIENCE OPERATIONS AND FLIGHT OPERATIONS PLANS AND CONCEPTS. THESE EFFORTS SHALL IDENTIFY THE CONDITIONS AND CONSTRAINTS NECESSARY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTEGRATED IRIS MISSION APPROACH. THE CONTRACTOR'S MISSION INTEGRATION EFFORTS SHALL INCLUDE CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE ACCOMMODATION OF THE IRIS OBSERVATORY ONTO THE LAUNCH VEHICLE. THE CONTRACTOR'S PHASE B PRELIMINARY DESIGN EFFORTS SHALL DEVELOP THE CSR AND SITE VISIT CONCEPTS INTO A PRELIMINARY DESIGN AND DEFINITION OF THE IRIS MISSION, INCLUDING ITS MISSION OPERATIONS CENTER (MOC) AND SCIENCE OPERATIONS CENTER (SOC). THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN REVIEW (PDR) SHALL BE HELD IN ACCORDANCE WITH NPR 7120.5D, NPR 7123.1A, AND GSFC STD 1001B. THE CONTRACTOR'S EFFORTS IN PHASE B SHALL FORM THE BASIS FOR FINAL CONFIRMATION OF THE REMAINDER OF THE IRIS DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATIONAL PHASES (C, D, E AND F). DETAILED COST AND SCHEDULE ESTIMATES SHALL BE PREPARED AND SUBMITTED DURING PHASE B, WHICH DEFINES THE CONTRACTOR'S UPDATED BUDGET FOR PHASE B AND THE PLANNED BUDGETS FOR PHASE C, D, E AND F WORK. PERIODIC TECHNICAL AND PROGRAMMATIC INTERCHANGE MEETINGS AT BOTH THE CONTRACTOR'S FACILITY AND AT GSFC SHALL BE REQUIRED TO COORDINATE EFFORTS BETWEEN THE CONTRACTOR AND THE EXPLORERS PROJECTS OFFICE. THESE MAY BE CONDUCTED AS FACE-TO-FACE MEETINGS OR TELECONFERENCES, AS REQUIRED.
