Executive Summary. Background. This report presents the findings of the Evaluation of the Canadian Space Agency CSAs International Space Station ISS Assembly and Maintenance Operations Sub Sub Program SSP. The evaluation was conducted between December 2. February 2. 01. 6, covering the time period from March 2. March 2. 01. 5. The Space Station Program began in 1. G7 economies by then United States US President Reagan to contribute to the on orbit facility. The original partners were the US lead, Canada, Europe represented by the European Space Agency ESA and Japan. In 1. 98. 5 the Government of Canada confirmed its participation in the program and the original Intergovernmental Agreement IGA was signed in 1. An updated IGA was signed in 1. Russia. Canadas contribution to the ISS is the Mobile Servicing System MSS. The MSSs main elements are the Space Station Remote Manipulator System SSRMS or the second generation Canadarm. Mobile Base System MBS that transports the Canadian robots and ISS payloads along the length of the stations main truss, launched in 2. Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator SPDM or Dextre, a two armed dexterous robot, launched in March 2. The Artificial Vision Units AVUs and Operations Control Software OCS were also provided to support on orbit crew operations of the MSS via the National Aeronautics and Space Agency NASAs Robotic Workstation RWS, which also falls under the sustaining engineering support responsibilities of the CSA. The MSS is supported by operations and training facilities located at the CSAs headquarters in Saint Hubert, Quebec, and by an MSS Sustaining Engineering Facility MSEF operated by Mac. Donald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd MDA, the prime contractor in Brampton, Ontario. In accordance with the provisions of the NASACSA Memoranda of Understanding MOU, Canada is obligated to support the operations of the MSS provide MSS training to crew and ground support personnel develop and implement procedures for operating the MSS in a safe, efficient and effective manner provide logistics and sustaining engineering for each Canadian element throughout the life cycle of the ISS andprovide required spares and to repair MSS hardware that fails on orbit. In return for its contribution of the MSS and for fulfilling its obligations, Canada has the right to utilize 2. ISS user accommodations for research activities, and 2. Canada also has the right to provide Canadian astronauts for 2. ISS crew flight opportunities. In addition to its obligations, Canada is required to compensate NASA for 2. ISS Common Systems Operating Costs CSOCs. These are the costs attributed to the operation of the ISS as a whole, for which all partners must pay their respective share. The partners have agreed to minimize the exchange of funds by providing goods and services in kind, i. To date, all cooperating agencies have offset their CSOC obligations through such barters. The ISS Assembly and Maintenance Operations SSP is an ongoing activity and is funded through the CSA A base. The MSS Operations budget is managed through the existing CSA financial structure in accordance with all applicable Financial Administration Act FAA policies. Budgets are decentralized to the managers responsible for the delivery of specific activities. The total budget for the ISS Assembly and Maintenance Operations SSP between 2. The scope of the ISS Assembly and Maintenance Operations SSP is the operation and maintenance of the MSS.
