Description of Driving Event:
Lack of International Partner Elements Software Source Code
Lesson(s) Learned:
The long-term support of the International Partners with respect to software source code is essential to the safe operation of the ISS and the resolution of any software-related anomalies.
Recommendation(s):
Solidify long-term source code maintenance and incident investigation agreements for all software being developed by the International Partners as quickly as possible, and develop contingency plans for all operations that cannot be adequately placed under NASA's control.
Evidence of Recurrence Control Effectiveness:
The International Partners have all agreed to provide sustaining engineering support for their software throughout the life of the ISS, and the ISS Program will add this agreement to the multilateral ISSP Software Management Plan. In addition, NASA has established contingency plans for dealing with the loss of critical partner assets.
