Mars Pathfinder Accounting, Budget, Cost and Workforce Reports Collection, 1992-1998.

The collection includes Mars Pathfinder Project accounting, budget, cost, lien summaries and workforce financial variance reports. These reports have the studies and development of techniques and tools by MESUR Pathfinder having general applicability that includes design to cost methodology for cost capped projects; a streamlined announcement for opportunity approach, a concurrent engineering process whereby ground and flight elements were engineered concurrently and a capability vs. requirement budget driven design approach. This positioned JPL to successfully bid for future Discovery class missions. The collection is arranged into 7 series with a sequential date range for each series: various flight system financial files, workforce financial variance files, (lien summaries, work package agreements, and system for resource management), monthly management reviews, budget tracking documents and accounting status reports from 1992-1998. Various Flight System Financial Reports (Boxes 1-8; Folders 1-84). This series is comprised of flight system cost estimates, flight system re-plans, workforce analysis reports, system for research management reports (SRM), mechanical, telecommunication and other F/S cost plan estimates from 1992-1995. MESUR Project Financial Variance Reports (Boxes 9-13; Folders 85-137). This series outlines MESUR Project Financial Variance Report's (FVR's) detailed obligations summarized by line items, actuals and journal details from 1993-1995. Mars Pathfinder Flight System Lien Summaries (Boxes 14-17; Folders 138-169). This series includes lien information, summaries, re-plans, lien status, and FY95 tracking and budget updates from 1994-1995. Also, in this series there is an IOM discussing additional reductions in FY94 funding due to underuns and the belief that F/S would not spend all the funds allocated during the first quarter of FY'94. Mars Pathfinder Work Package Agreement (Boxes 18-21; Folders 170-198). This series covers the various work package agreements and their objectives, descriptions of responsibilities and approach activities relating to Mars Pathfinder subsystem development, cost, schedules and performance requirements from 1993-1997. Mars Pathfinder Monthly Management Reviews (Boxes 22-24; Folders 199-220). This series task descriptions status is out of Division 35, Tracking System and Application Section, account code 507-3LL00-3520 revealing MPF subsystem accomplishments from 1995-1996. Mars Pathfinder Budget Tracking Reports (Boxes 25-33; Folders 221-281). This series outlines MPF workforce analysis reports, obligations, cost, systems and subsystems summaries from 1993-1997. Mars Pathfinder Accounting Status Reports (Boxes 34-48; Folders 282-406). This series comprises the MPF work hours distribution reports, account summaries and obligations from 1995-1998.

The Mars Pathfinder landed on Mars July 4, 1997. It was the first spacecraft ever to send a rover out to independently explore the Martian landscape. Mars Pathfinder also was the second of NASA's planetary Discovery missions designed to foster low-cost spacecraft with highly focused science objectives. The Mars Pathfinder (formerly known as the Mars Environmental Survey, or MESUR, Pathfinder) was developed by the Ames Research Center and was transferred from Ames to the ...
