Human Spaceflight Engineering Support (Boeing Contract)

This contract provides systems engineering, testing, and sustaining engineering support to the NASA Space Shuttle and International Space Station Programs. Tasks performed include preparing test requirements documents, test procedures, and test documentation; planning and conducting structural/mechanical, electrical, environmental, and performance testing at the system, subsystem, and assembly levels; and supporting element and systems verification testing at JSC, MSFC, and KSC, which may involve testing at the subsystem, system, or complete vehicle integrated level. Typical of the projects completed include acceptance testing on ISS flight units such as the Pump Module, and Heat Exchanger; providing anomaly resolution and failure analysis of operational systems; and developing an On-Orbit Data Analysis Tool (OODAT) program to import, store and analyze Orbiter Data Reduction Complex (ODRC) data. MEI personnel utilize a comprehensive knowledge, both broad and deep, allowing us to troubleshoot problems that cut across multiple systems and subsystems. For example, MEI personnel were instrumental in dealing with the ISS Carbon Dioxide Removal Assembly (CDRA) check valve failure on orbit by working with the vendor to develop the "single-bed mode" that allowed continued CDRA operation with one of two critical internal check valves in a failed state.
