SSP 50108C, CERTIFICATION OF FLIGHT READINESS PROCESS DOCUMENT - INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION PROGRAM (NOV 2006)., The International Space Station (ISS) Program Certification of Flight Readiness (CoFR) Process Document defines the ISS Program CoFR process and describes participant responsibilities. This process enables assessment and certification of the successful completion of Program activities that are required to ensure mission success. Additionally, it enables certification of the operational readiness and safety of the ISS Program Hardware/Software (HW/SW), facilities, and personnel that support prelaunch activity, launch/return, on-orbit assembly, operations, and utilization. All organizations contributing to the ISS Program will certify that the necessary tasks, activities, and data products associated with their endorsement statements have been accomplished. The requirements defined herein are applicable to all participating organizations, including International Partner/Participant (IP/P), as they relate to ISS Cargo Elements, Cargo Items, Racks, Transportation Vehicles, ground facilities, personnel, and any other HW/SW that supports ISS assembly and operations. The certification of flight readiness for Launch Vehicles (LV) that deliver Transportation Vehicles to the ISS is outside the scope of this document. The NASA Space Shuttle is an integrated Launch Vehicle and Transportation Vehicle system. The requirements and procedures for the Space Shuttle certification of flight readiness are documented in NSTS-08117.
