Response to Peer Review RFA 6

Request:
– Need to provide more information on the planned and
actual staffing profiles. Identify which areas that are
needed now are not filled, what is being done to fill them,
and their role in being able to prepare for the ISOC CDR.
The ground software engineer for example would seem to
be a prerequisite for preparing for the CDR, let alone
actually conducting it. Would also seem to need a test
engineer

The staffing profile for the ISOC has been developed and the
budget for activities agreed upon with SLAC management.
– See chart on next page for staffing by function
– The large jump in FY05 reflects the CD4 milestone (delivery
to NRL for environmental test) and the end of the
construction phase of the project; at this point most LAT
staff (e.g. SAS, FSW etc) are in the ISOC.
We have hired a software engineer (Steve Culp) who is
developing an architecture for the ISOC operations software.
We have hired a software engineer (Jim Lemon) who will
implement the ISOC databases
We have hired a technical writer (Lee Steele) who will develop
the remaining ISOC documents including the Operations
handbook.
We will need additional software developers/physicists later in
CY 04. We have no current unfilled slots.
