The synchronization effort was designed to identify any conflicts or gaps between and among the projects and the program and to establish a plan for resolving those issues.<\/font><\/p>\n \u2018This has been an eventful spring, known as the \u2018season of SRRs,\u201d said Jeff Hanley, Constellation Program manager. \u2018This summer will bring a new season of rolling system definition reviews that will finish our requirements for initial mission capability and set us up for our first preliminary design reviews.\u2019 Orion\/CEV Display Layout Presentation (40 pages) \u2013 Feb 5.
