  1. Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope GLAST Large Area Telescope ISOC Peer Review 2.3 Verification and Validation Lori Bator ISOC Chief Engineer

  2. Methods of Verification and Validation • I&T Operations • Goal: Verify and validate SOG and LOF tools and functions • Data Challenges • Goal: “End to end” test of science analysis software • ISOC Tests • Goal: Verify and validate ISOC capabilities • Ground Readiness Tests (GRTs) • Goal: Verify and validate system interfaces and data flows • End-to-End (ETE) tests • Goal: Verify and validate interface between ground system and observatory • Mission Simulations • Goal: Verify operation team readiness prior to launch

  3. Integration and Test • I&T exercises SOG and SAS functions and tools in increasing complexity • Provides a verification of ground operations software design • Provides a validation of command and telemetry database • Some command procedures will be validated, such as instrument turn on and any tests that will also be used in on-orbit checkout • Remaining ISOC command procedures will be validated on the test bed

  4. Data Challenges • Will be discussed by Richard Dubois in section 7.3

  5. ISOC Tests • ISOC design is verified through a demonstrate of software and hardware capabilities • Tests will provide a verification and validation of ground operations software • Later tests will include simulations on the test bed • Test will be scheduled to occur prior to ground system tests to ensure ISOC functionality beforehand • Tests will occur in conjunction with ISOC software releases • Goals of tests address the ISOC-related goals of the ground system tests

  6. Ground Readiness Tests • Purpose of tests is to validate the ground system interfaces data flows, performance, and major functionality of the GLAST ground system • ISOC supports the test as part of the ground system • ISOC will provide input to test objectives, script reviews, and product development • FOT is responsible for planning, documenting and coordinating the execution of the test • Tests utilize simulators and recorded data and may include the spacecraft and integrated observatory

  7. ISOC Function in GRTs • GRT #1 – 02/15/05 • Provide command and telemetry database input • GRT #2 – 04/15/05 • Receive Level 0 data from MOC • Receive RT HK data from MOC • Provide basic LAT planning and scheduling • GRT #4 – 09/01/05 • Receive Level 0 data from MOC • GRT #5 – 11/15/05 • Provide Level 1 and Level 2 products to GSSC • Provide more complex LAT planning and scheduling • Provide instrument file uploads to GSSC • Provide simulate science data • GRT #6 – 02/15/06 • Contingencies added • GRT #7 – 05/01/06 • Clean-up and regression testing

  8. End-to-End Tests • Validate interface between MOC workstations at GSFC and the GLAST Observatory • Later tests include operational scenarios • ISOC will support LAT testing through an Instrument Operations Team (IOT) • Determine instrument configuration and interfaces required to meet the objectives of the test • Approve all operational products to be used with the instruments including all loads, PROCs and the scripts to ensure the instrument is properly operated • Provide operational products as required to meet the test objectives • Provide an assessment of instrument performance to be included in the test report

  9. ISOC Function in ETEs • ETE #1 – 2/11/06 • Provide Level 1 data products to GSSC • Receive Level 0 files from MOC (post-test) • ETE #2 – 4/15/06 • Provide instrument commands and file loads • Support memory dumps of instrument • ETE #3 – 6/15/06 • Support basic observatory operations • ETE #4 – 8/25/06 • Instrument turn on • ETE #5 – 10/14/06 • Regression test and contingencies • ETE #6 – 2/1/07 • Final ETE at launch facility

  10. Mission Simulations • Formal operational simulations (rehearsals) at MOC to verify launch readiness of the operations personnel, products (e.g., procedures), and processes • Conducted by MOC • Include activities such as L&EO, day-in-the-life, and contingency rehearsals • Scheduled to occur from May 2006 through launch

  11. Conclusion • ISOC will be involved in many tests and simulations • First flow of data to/from ISOC is GRT#2 (April 2005) • Success of tests requires ISOC to be ready • ISOC tests need to be well defined • Draft of LAT ISOC Validation and Verification Plan(LAT-MD-2513-1) • Infrastructure needs to be in place • SAS is testing pipeline and software through DCs • SOG and LOF tools are tested through I&T • Software issue tracking tool
