TESLA Major Milestones

• Propellant Valve Bench Test ?• Engine Test #1 Dec 5• Engine/Feed Subsystem Test #2 Mar 5• Recovery Test Mar 19• Tower Test Mar 19• LOX Tank Proof Test Feb 13• Structures Load Test Feb 20• Vehicle Integration Complete May 14• Hazard Analysis and Test Reports May 6• Launch June 15

• Potential Conflicts– Finals schedule– Other breaks for students

Page 10

TESLA Scheduling Exercise

• Teams / Members– Break up into groups

• Define– Deliverables (hardware, tests, reports, analysis)– Inputs needed from other teams (what data do you need to do your job?)– Dates you need input– Dates for your deliverables– Review schedule

• Add additional tasks you think are necessary to track• Schedule your deliverables and inputs required from other teams

– Allocate durations of each task (keeping in mind you have to meet major milestones• Deliverable for this exercise

– Schedule of tasks with durations– Input you need from other teams with dates

Page 11

TESLA Program Management Assignments & Tasks

• Need to assign people to the following tasks:

• Scheduling– Schedule incorporation, updates and coordination

• Customer Interaction– Inputs into customer (ESRA)

• Cost Estimating and Management– Estimating for future needs (tasks, test, final trip)– Tracking & spending (working with teams on expected costs and receipts– Fundraising

• Outreach– Press releases– White paper / Conference paper– Sponsorships
