Scientific paper

There are similarities in the physical activities and in the documentation that is developed by the ISS Payload Office and the Payload Developer (PD) to what the Shuttle Experiment Projects and Shuttle Mission Manager teams performed to successfully fly experiments on the Shuttle. Because the ISS uses many more systems and operates many payloads there are additional tasks that PDs must accomplish to get approval to fly. For NASA payloads that are attached to the JEM-EF there are additional tasks that the PDs and NASA's Payload Office must accomplish to satisfy the requirements of NASDA. This paper describes the processes that the Low Temperature Microgravity Physics Facility (LTMPF) follows or will follow to meet the qualification requirements imposed by JPL, by the Microgravity Research Program Office (MRPO) at MSFC, by the ISS Payload Office (OZ) at JSC, and by NASDA's ISS Integration Office. The integration of the LTMPF payload, its instruments and the verification of the interfaces (mechanical, thermal, power, telemetry, and command) with the ISS is an integral part of the qualification process and will be developed in this paper. The ISS payload office and NASDA provide ISS simulators that PDs can use at their development site or at the launch site; but there are no actual ISS subsystems to mate with to ensure compatibility. This paper will provide a PD's view of the process, establish the flow or timeline in relation to the payload development schedule and discuss the relationships with the ISS Payload Office, the Research Program Office, the launch site Integration Office and NASDA for the LTMPF payload.
