A1.1.1. Purpose. The Ground Operations Plan (GOP) provides a detailed description of the hazardous and safety critical operations associated with a payload (spacecraft) and its associated ground support equipment. It is the medium from which payload safety approval is obtained from the PSWG in conjunction with Range Safety, along with the Safety Data Packages [Missile Systems Prelaunch Safety Package (MSPSP)] required in NPR 8715.7 and Volume 3 of this document. The GOP may be a stand-alone document or part of the Safety Data Package (MSPSP).

A1.2.1. Content. This attachment contains the content preparation instructions for the data generated by the requirements delineated in Volume 6. The GOP contains a description of planned operations (including back out) and the associated hazard analysis of those operations. Where applicable, previously approved documentation may be referenced throughout the package. The high level Ground Operations Flow Overview presented at the Payload Safety Introduction Briefing shall provide an overview of the major payload activities and tasks, where these activities and tasks take place, and an operations flow timeline for these activities and conform to Volume 6 and this Attachment. The Draft GOP is due 30 days prior to project’s mission CDR for Safety Review II per NPR 8715.7. The Final GOP shall be submitted 90 days prior to the payload shipment to the processing site per NPR 8715.7. The information from a GOP may be part of the respective Safety Data Packages as an inclusion or may be a separate document. The level of detail provided in the GOP data shall be commensurate with the level of data available at the time of submission.
