  THE TECHNICAL AND PROGRAMMATIC REVIEWS SUPPORTED BY THIS TASK ARE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF CONDUCTING, MANAGING, EVALUATING, AND APPROVING SPACE FLIGHT PROJECTS. IN COORDINATION WITH THE ICESAT-2 PROJECT, THE GSFC CONDUCTS INTERNAL REVIEWS USING GODDARD SYSTEM REVIEW TEAMS (GSRTS) TO ASSESS THE PROJECT'S IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROJECT BASELINE. THE INTERNAL REVIEWS ARE THE DECISIONAL MEETINGS WHEREIN THE PROJECTS SOLIDIFY THEIR PLANS, TECHNICAL APPROACHES, AND PROGRAMMATIC COMMITMENTS. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED AS PART OF THE NORMAL SYSTEMS ENGINEERING WORK PROCESSES OF THE CENTER. AT THESE REVIEWS, MAJOR TECHNICAL AND PROGRAMMATIC REQUIREMENTS ARE ASSESSED ALONG WITH THE SYSTEM DESIGN AND OTHER IMPLEMENTATION PLANS. MAJOR TECHNICAL AND PROGRAMMATIC PERFORMANCE METRICS ARE ALSO REPORTED AND ASSESSED AGAINST PREDICTIONS. THE GSRT REVIEWS ASSESS THE ADEQUACY OF (A) THE REQUIREMENTS AND THEIR FLOW-DOWN, (B) THE PROJECT ALIGNMENT WITH AND CONTRIBUTIONS TO AGENCY NEEDS, GOALS, AND OBJECTIVES, (C) THE TECHNICAL APPROACH, (D) THE SCHEDULE, (E) THE ESTIMATED COSTS, (F) RESOURCES OTHER THAN BUDGET, (G) THE RISK MANAGEMENT APPROACH AND RISK IDENTIFICATION/MITIGATION, AND (H) THE MANAGEMENT APPROACH. SUPPORT IS REQUIRED FOR SYSTEMS ENGINEERING CONDUCTED DURING THE DEVELOPMENT LIFECYCLE OF THE ICESAT-2 MISSION, INCLUDING MISSION ELEMENTS SUCH AS THE SPACECRAFT, INSTRUMENTS, AND GROUND SYSTEMS. IN MANY CASES, THE SYSTEMS UNDER REVIEW REPRESENT MAJOR ADVANCES IN STATE-OF-THE-ART DESIGNS, TECHNIQUES AND OPERATING ENVIRONMENTS WHICH HAVE NO PRECEDENCE. IN SUPPORT OF THIS TASK, SENIOR SYSTEMS ENGINEERS ARE BEING CONTRACTED FOR IN SUPPORT OF REVIEW PANEL POSITIONS REQUIRING PRIMARY EXPERTISE IN AT LEAST ONE OF THE FOLLOWING DISCIPLINES: LASER SYSTEMS, MISSION DESIGN, MISSION SYSTEMS, SPACECRAFT SYSTEMS, MECHANICAL SYSTEMS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS, COMMAND AND DATA HANDLING SYSTEMS, RF SYSTEMS, POWER SYSTEMS, ATTITUDE CONTROL SYSTEMS, THERMAL SYSTEMS, PROPULSION SYSTEMS, INSTRUMENT SYSTEMS, SYSTEMS INTEGRATION AND TEST, OPERATIONS, SCIENCE DATA SYSTEMS, OR FLIGHT AND GROUND SOFTWARE SYSTEMS. THE CONTRACTOR SHALL COORDINATE THE PARTICIPATION OF THEIR SENIOR SYSTEMS ENGINEERS WITH THE NASA TASK MONITOR REGARDING SPECIFIC DISCIPLINES OF INTEREST REQUIRED TO SUPPORT THE REVIEWS, ACCORDING TO THE IDENTIFIED CONCERNS AND DEVELOPMENTAL STATUS OF THE PROJECT.
