    REQUIREMENTS

    The proposed COSMOS will provide technical, managerial, and administrative work needed to ensure the availability, integrity, reliability, and security of the Flight Operations Directorate’s (FOD) Mission Systems supporting National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) space flight programs requiring mission operations support. “Mission Systems” is defined as the systems and subsystems of integrated hardware, software, networks, data, displays, and mockups used in the preparation for and performance of mission operations.

    COSMOS will support the International Space Station Program, including International Partner and Commercial Visiting Vehicles, the Commercial Crew Program (CCP), and the Moon to Mars Program. Mission Systems supporting these programs are under development and/or modification in concert with program formulation and implementation. COSMOS applies to the Mission Systems for all of these programs, and any other programs or missions requiring Mission Systems support. In addition, future (currently undefined) Mission Systems and capabilities are within the technical scope of this draft SOW, and COSMOS work associated with these Mission Systems.
