| 4.5.4-11-2 Ensure proper launch site processing procedures are complete |
Phase D1 |
|
Evaluate test plans and testing after integration with launch vehicle to ensure that integration and the launch pad environment/operations will not cause any damage to Communications Payload hardware. Ensure that launch rehearsals address planned procedures and contingency operations.

| 4.5.4-11-3 Ensure proper plans, procedures and tools are in place to support early operations |
Phase D1 |
|
Ensure launch and initialization rehearsals address planned procedures (which include sequence of events and time lines) and contingency operations, and that any issues found during rehearsals are tracked to closure prior to launch.

| 4.5.4-11-4 Ensure on-orbit anomalies are reviewed for reach-back |
Phase B |
Phase C |
Phase D1 |
Phase D2 |
Phase D3 |
|
Ensure that anomalies from both in-system (common program) and cross-systems (supporting or parallel programs and services) are evaluated and considered in the event of on-orbit anomalies. Root cause and disposition of the anomaly must consider reach back, reach across and reach forward. Root cause and final disposition must be documented into a lessons learned database as appropriate to the security level of the anomaly and program.

| 4.5.4-11-5 Ensure independent simulation models are available or built, as needed, to support anomalies or launch training |
Phase B |
Phase C |
Phase D1 |
|
Ensure applicability of models (if any are generated for program) for use in system operations. Models should be validated through testing, and launch & initialization rehearsals well prior to operations readiness (preferably through prior use during systems development)

| 4.5.4-11-6 Ensure that, through telemetry and analysis, functionality of each unit on the PL is verified on-orbit |
Phase D2 |
|
Ensure that any on-orbit telemetry/health and on-orbit test results for payload units and subsystems are in family and trending reasonably with pre-launch test results and any similar on-orbit assets.

Phase D2 |
|
Review and ensure that planned on-orbit testing incorporates all flight operational parameters and restrictions (including noise floor limitations due to space loss and celestial noise sources, exclusions zones imposed due to safety and vehicle limitations, or mechanical structure slew rate restrictions).
