OSMA-SMARR-05-01 [CANCELLATION W/ BASELINE DOCUMENT], SAFETY AND MISSION ASSURANCE READINESS REVIEW (SMARR) PROCESS (23 DEC 2008)., This document defines the process for performing a Safety and Mission Assurance Readiness Review (SMARR). The document also identifies the responsibilities of the various participants and provides several common templates to be used in the SMARR briefing. The SMARR is a NASA Headquarters Safety and Mission Assurance (SMA) review that is held for the Chief SMA Officer to independently assess, from an SMA perspective, the readiness to proceed with selected high-risk program or project activities. The SMARR provides the basis for the Chief SMA Officer or a designee to knowledgeably and confidently sign the Certification of Flight Readiness, or to issue a recommendation to the appropriate Mission Directorate Associate Administrator to proceed with the activity. The SMARR is held prior to NASA Human Space Flight (HSF) and Expendable Launch Vehicle (ELV) launches and selected Experimental Aerospace Vehicle (EAV) flights. The Chief SMA Officer may also request a SMARR prior to other SMA-critical program or project activities, including Test Readiness Reviews, Design Certification Reviews, and Extravehicular Activities, or may delegate authority to conduct the senior NASA SMA review prior to a selected activity.
