Launch Integration Specialist (LIS) provides mission management and integration
support to the OSL mission team in all phases of planning and execution of satellite-to-launch vehicle integration for OSL assigned missions. The LIS provides the overall end-to-end mission integration planning coordination/support, integrated schedule development, Range
coordination, readiness review preparation, technical procedure coordination, anomaly
resolution, integration of mission requirements into government or commercial infrastructure, mission support, MAT Integration panel support and lessons learned adjudication.
LIS support responsibilities include program plan development and maintenance, including performing launch vehicle mission trade studies, mission analysis, the development of mission unique requirements and derived requirements identification, monitoring and verifying all launch vehicle and satellite vehicle interface requirements including satellite vehicle processing, monitoring, transportation and fueling requirements.
LIS should possess an understanding of the SV and L V and associated contracts to support the entire life cycle of launch operations planning
and execution. LIS support requires close coordination with the SV Program, L VC, OL, Range, and other associated contractors and organizations. LIS should be familiar with the scope, capabilities and coordination of support for various NRO, OSL and external contracts for SV development, integration and launch, commercial launch services, Launch Systems Integration Contractor (LSIC), FFRDC, launch base/range support contractors and OSL service/services contracts requirements. Requires a working knowledge of United States Space Force (USSF) National Security Space Launch (NSSL) launch services and launch vehicle architecture and components.
LIS tasks include:
• Provides space vehicle to launch vehicle integration, manifesting, and launch expertise
• Provides Launch mission management process continuity across the Launch Enterprise
• Supports Launch Mission Management interface with internal and external divisions,
agencies and contractors
• Generates reports and presentations for meetings and other launch enterprise internal and external reviews
• Manages coordination process for planning, requirements and readiness meetings
• Performs review oflaunch mission integration products assuring quality, accurate and
complete products are properly developed, coordinated and delivered.
• Assists in the development of launch and mission integration requirements in support of OSL CBJB and IPBS development
• Attend Launch Scheduling/Manifest Meetings as required
• Support each OSL launch campaign, throughout the entire launch process, by ensuring the NOPS, Mission IT infrastructure and services requirements, as driven by satellite program and OSL, are integrated, documented and validated.
• Support development of and/or update mission documentation, ensuring proper
identification of enterprise launch communications and service requirements
• Interface with key mission personnel from NRO mission partners including launch
vehicle contractors, satellite contractors, AF Program Offices, NASA and other mission
stakeholder groups
• Provide insights on SV issues that may affect the L V /SV interface, L V hardware or
launch infrastructure
• Provide Modeling and Simulation support including developing both technical and
programmatic scenarios and associated data inputs and analysis
• Update and communicate OSL capabilities baseline and processes, OSL services and
capabilities reference guides and roadshows and other outreach efforts to support SV /LV integration
• Develop schedules, manifests, and mission models, including multiple scenarios,
impacts, and alternatives
• Ensure mission integration risks are identified and support/track mitigation activities
• Provide very early mission integration engagement to new and emerging programs (May require special security access granted as needed by the government)
• Provide Risk Assessments, as assigned, of various elements of and OSL Launch
Campaign to include integrated LV/SV readiness, team performance and readiness to
execute the launch campaign based on demonstrated performance during DoL exercised and readiness activities
