Lessons Learned - This document contains lessons learned from the NOAA-N Prime mishap which occurred at Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company in Sunnyvale, CA on September 6, 2003.
Year: 2005
Abstract: Abstract:
The fully assembled NOAA N-Prime satellite was significantly damaged after sliding off an improperly configured cart while being rotated from a vertical position to a horizontal orientation for an instrument shimming operation at the prime contractor»s facility on September 6, 2003.
This document presents several lessons learned and recommendations for proactive measures to prevent a recurrence of this unfortunate accident. They may be considered applicable to any government/contractor collaborative relationship established to build, test, and launch space flight hardware. The lessons learned relate to the Integration and Test (I&T) phase of the satellite development life cycle and are particularly relevant to long duration projects.
