COSMO-SkyMed is an Earth Observation space program conducted by the Italian Space Agency (ASI) in conjunction with It-MoD. In the framework of the current programmatic phase concerning the operational management of the constellation, a set of qualified teams was introduced in order to perform technical, operational and engineering activities on the system, and tailored information flows were developed among ASI, It- MoD and Industrial staff in order to continuously guarantee the performances and the availability of the system and to identify potential enhancements and changes for the optimization of the overall cost/benefit ratio and the increase of the performances with respect to the original specification. Aim of this paper is to describe the conceived organization oriented to perform maintenance, operations and sustaining engineering activities in the frame of the operational management of the COSMO-SkyMed system, and to assess the tasks performed and the capabilities assured by the instituted teams, showing in detail the anomalies and non-conformances management process, the process assumed to keep the system performances inside the thresholds, to measure and validate the availability, effectiveness and efficiency figures of COSMO-SkyMed system, and to continuously figure out lessons learnt, trend analyses and optimization strategies. The efficiency of the conceived organization and processes in performing such activities is assessed in this paper through specific test cases and examples.

Abstract
COSMO-SkyMed is an Earth Observation space program conducted by the Italian Space Agency (ASI) in conjunction with It-MoD. In the framework of the current programmatic phase concerning the operational management of the constellation, a set of qualified teams was introduced in order to perform technical, operational and engineering activities on the system, and tailored information flows were developed among ASI, It- MoD and Industrial staff in order to continuously guarantee the performances and the availability of the system and to identify potential enhancements and changes for the optimization of the overall cost/benefit ratio and the increase of the performances with respect to the original specification. Aim of this paper is to describe the conceived organization oriented to perform maintenance, operations and sustaining engineering activities in the frame of the operational management of the COSMO-SkyMed system, and to assess the tasks performed and the capabilities assured by the instituted teams, showing in detail the anomalies and non-conformances management process, the process assumed to keep the system performances inside the thresholds, to measure and validate the availability, effectiveness and efficiency figures of COSMO-SkyMed system, and to continuously figure out lessons learnt, trend analyses and optimization strategies. The efficiency of the conceived organization and processes in performing such activities is assessed in this paper through specific test cases and examples.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
