CxP 72018 (V1.0), CONSTELLATION SYSTEMS LAUNCH VEHICLE (CSLV): SYSTEMS ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT PLAN (SEMP) (25 MAY 2006)

CxP 72018 (V1.0), CONSTELLATION SYSTEMS LAUNCH VEHICLE (CSLV): SYSTEMS ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT PLAN (SEMP) (25 MAY 2006)., This System Engineering Management Plan (SEMP) describes the overall technical management and integration activities for the Design, Development, Test, and Evaluation (DDT&E) and deployment of the Constellation Sys-tems Launch Vehicle (CSLV) Project.1 It is written to provide a technical management plan, system engineering and integration (SE&I) tools and processes that will guide the SE&I activities and assist the Project in keeping within performance goals and cost & schedule requirements of the Constellation Program Office. The CSLV Project and its Elements will function per the guidance and requirements in this document. For conflicts between the Launch Vehicle Project Plan (CxP 70057) and this SEMP, the Project Plan takes precedence. Related applicable requirements are contained in NPR 7120.5C, NASA Program and Project Management Processes and Requirements The SEMP provides the communication bridge between the project management team and the technical implemen-tation teams and within the technical team. It establishes the framework to realize the appropriate work products that meet the entry and success criteria of the applicable project phases. And it provides management with neces-sary information for making Systems Engineering (SE) decisions. While the SEMP is focused on DDT&E, it also addresses traceability of stakeholder requirements and supportability across the project lifecycle. The scope of this CSLV Project SEMP applies directly to the Crew Launch Vehicle (CLV) and the Cargo Launch Vehicle (CaLV). Combined, the launch vehicles are designated as CSLV. This SEMP is the plan for the complete, integrated technical effort and incorporates all tasks, including all work to be performed by other MSFC/NASA or-ganizations, in addition to the originating organization. Involved organizations, panels, boards and their processes, methodology, and deliverable products are identified. Repetitive and/or cyclic processes are expanded to show the process paths and data flow and dissemination within the process.
