Q2 1996 Telemetry Review Schedule

The Research & Other division will conduct the Q2 1996 Telemetry Review beginning Monday, April 8, 1996. The Review will proceed in accordance with the procedure established under the 1991 information policy and refined in subsequent revisions of the Procedure Manual. All inputs originating from the LUNAR fleet and the receiver array at the Launch & Receive Facility, as logged during the period commencing January 1, 1996 and concluding March 31, 1996, will be reviewed in their entirety. Inputs are to be made available to the Review team by close of business Friday, April 5, 1996.

The Review will be conducted in the west wing of Building 2. The Astronautics division will provide a liaison for the duration of the Review. Mainframe Services will make a senior technician available on standby during posted business hours for the duration of the Review, in the event that downlink calibration is required. The senior technician’s identity is not relevant for purposes of this memo; he prefers not to be named.

Please note: the Review will be conducted regardless of whether routine variance has been observed during the period under review. This is the standing procedure and is not subject to revision at the divisional level. Findings, where they exist, will be filed with the Office of the Chief Executive no later than April 26, 1996. No oral briefings are anticipated. Divisions that fail to make their inputs available during the posted period will be noted in the summary report.

The Review is scheduled to be completed by close of business Friday, April 19, 1996. Subsequent Reviews are scheduled for Q3 (commencing July 8, 1996) and Q4 (commencing October 7, 1996), in accordance with the standing schedule. The standing schedule is not posted publicly and is not subject to inquiry.

Respectfully,

Delores H. Ashworth Director, Research & Other
