The Orion Project is in the early stages of Design Analysis Cycle #2 (DAC#2) and has been challenged with evaluating current 606C vehicle design capability for nominal water landings and contingency land landings during this DAC#2 cycle. In an effort to integrate this technical effort, an Orion Landing Strategy Tiger Team was established per Orion Project Guidance Memo ZV-07-034. A Tiger Team Steering Committee (hereby known as Steering Committee) has been assembled to oversee the design and analysis activities being performed during DAC#2 for the landing event. These activities include assessing current vehicle design for both water landing and contingency land landing events, assessing the current vehicle design susceptibility to roll control and tip over, reviewing methods for assessing occupant injury during ascent/aborts/landings, developing an alternate seat/attenuation design solution which improves occupant protection and operability, and testing the seat/attenuation system designs to ensure valid results. This memo establishes the roles and responsibilities for the Steering Committee and sub-tasks, the schedule/expectations, and primary initial conditions to be used for these tasks within the Orion project. The primary initial conditions listed are in coordination with the Constellation Program Contingency Land Landing Guidance Memo CxPO ZF-07-012. Orion Project will report occupant protection status to CxPO at key sync points throughout DAC#2 such that all parties concur on approach well before Orion Project executes DAC#2 Final ERB (currently 8/1/2007) and PDR Board (currently 9/26/2007). Orion Project plans to status landing strategy and re-design recommendations during Orion Project Landing Strategy out-brief planned for 3/7/2008 CxPO Sync TIM. The redesign teams will evaluate Orion vehicle performance and crew injury susceptibility based upon G-Loads experienced by the crew through each dynamic phase of flight, the rate of onset, and the experienced time duration.
