The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) contribution to the International Space Station (ISS) goes beyond major station elements and a system integration responsibility, it includes participation in the design and acceptance reviews of its ISS partners. Furthermore, within NASA, an office independent of the Space Station Program is charged with a broad level overview of the design, integration, product assurance, verification and operation of major ISS elements. This office is the Independent Assurance (IA) Office. IA also participates in these ISS international design and acceptance reviews. IA appoints independent disciplined system/specialty analysts to perform mini-assessments on the systems hardware. Where ISS lessons learned can be implemented IA encourages the programs attention to disseminating these lessons to the partners. IA reviews compliance with established requirements (design, safety, performance, functional). IA plays an important role by evaluating the technical data for sufficiency and level of support is adequate from the appropriate internal/external organizations. IA provides independent oversight to influence hardware, software, processes, integration, and operations by advising the Programs of potential design inconsistencies which might negatively impact mission success. Lastly IA provides input as to the readiness of the International Partner (IP) hardware to proceed with the next design phase or acceptance. This paper concludes with insight into the net impact and processes used to improve the success of these design and acceptance reviews.
