LPR 7600.1, LANGLEY PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS: CLOSEOUT PHOTOGRAPHS FOR FLIGHT AND GROUND HARDWARE (15 FEB 2011)

LPR 7600.1, LANGLEY PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS: CLOSEOUT PHOTOGRAPHS FOR FLIGHT AND GROUND HARDWARE (15 FEB 2011)., On March 2005, the NASA Office of Chief Engineer chartered a Digital and Closeout Photography Team led by the Policy, Assessment and Integration Department of the Safety and Mission Assurance Office at the Marshall Space Flight Center to address recommendations from the Columbia Accident Investigation Board (CAIB) and the Diaz Team related to the use of closeout photographs for flight and ground hardware actions. The CAIB observations reflected a concern that NASA practices for documenting hardware closeouts and as-built configuration were not consistent, and irregularities may exist between the procedures that govern this process and actual practices. CAIB also observed that the collected photographs and related data were not formatted in a manner that facilitates ready recall of the information required to support real time decision-making processes. This LPR establishes Langley Research Center (LaRC) requirements for closeout photographs. The recommendations of the CAIB/DIAZ Action Digital Closeout Photography Assessment Team and other documents were considered in developing the requirements and guidelines provided herein.
