James Webb Space Telescope Update

This summary outlines critical recommendations made by the Independent Comprehensive Review Panel (ICRP) during the AAS 217th Meeting regarding the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) program. Key points include establishing a realistic cost and schedule baseline, enhancing independent analysis capabilities, and elevating program management to improve governance. Additional recommendations focus on strengthening system engineering processes and enhancing the roles of project scientists and the science team to ensure successful implementation and timely launch of JWST.

  1. James Webb Space Telescope Update Eric P. Smith Deputy Director, JWST Program NASA Science Mission Directorate

  2. 2010 Programmatic Events TAT: Test Assessment Team ICRP: Independent Comprehensive Review Panel AAS 217th Meeting

  3. NASA TAT Responses AAS 217th Meeting

  4. ICRP Recommendations (1) • Baseline Funding • NASA did not establish an adequate cost and schedule baseline at JWST’s Confirmation Review milestone, and recommended four specific steps be taken to establish a realistic baseline. AAS 217th Meeting

  5. ICRP Recommendations (2) • Independent Analysis Capability • NASA Headquarters should have a robust independent cost and program analysis capability, and recommended a stronger role for the Office of Independent Program and Cost Evaluation (IPCE). AAS 217th Meeting

  6. ICRP Recommendations (3) • Program and Project Management • Recommended that JWST be elevated to a new organizational entity at Headquarters • Implementation phase of JWST project requires a different management approach than the Formulation phase AAS 217th Meeting

  7. HQ Management Changes WAS IS AAS 217th Meeting

  8. GSFC Management Changes WAS IS AAS 217th Meeting

  9. ICRP Recommendations (4) • Additional Items • NASA program/project governance policy • Program, Project, Industry communication • Potential Risk in Integration and Test • ICRP Endorsed findings of the TAT • System Engineering • Establish a plan that provides the required level of experience and involves appropriate prime contractor personnel before changing system engineering accountability • Project Scientist and Science Team • Recommend this role be strengthened AAS 217th Meeting

  10. Steps to A Launch Date AAS 217th Meeting

  11. End AAS 217th Meeting
