ORGANIZATION
 

The Payload Integration Manager (PIM) :

    Functions as the Payload Developer point of contact to the ISS Program
    Ensures payload requirements are accurately defined and documented
    Facilitates payload product development and communications with the ISS Program
    Serves as payload advocate

MCC-H [Mission Control Centre - Houston] in JSC [Johnson Space Centre] (Houston - USA)

The MCC-H is the NASA centre in charge of the follow-up of all the activities of the ISS. CADMOS does not interface directly organisationally with it, but all the TC and TM coming from the ISS or going to ISS for CADMOS payloads (except CARDIOMED) go through MCC-H, via IGS.

POIC [Payload Operations Integration Centre] in HOSC [Huntstville Operations Space Centre] in the MSFC [Marshall Space Centre] (Huntstville, USA)

Part of the MSFC, the HOSC is in charge of the operation coordination of payload in US part of ISS. The POIC, part of the HOSC, is in particular responsible for the payload integration, the astronauts training or the safety aspects.

KSC [Kennedy Space Centre] (Cape Canaveral - USA)

The Kennedy Space Centre is the NASA launch centre for ISS, which deals with launch, hardware recuperation and integration of the payload in the transfer vehicle.

CADMOS (CNES Toulouse, France) is in charge of

    Preparing and testing models before delivery to NASA ;
    Preparing and validating scientific scenarios ;
    Preparing and validating CADMOS infrastructure and systems ;
    Training people involved in operations.

At the end of the commissioning phase and if it's necessary, each part will perform the required updating, models and documentation for the DECLIC project and ground segment systems and documentation for the CADMOS. A review between the project and the CADMOS will be organised. After this, the CADMOS will become the unique interface for the whole exploitation and maintenance operations. CADMOS will be responsible for Performing in-flight operations (monitoring, planning,...), distributing and archiving data.
