Description of Driving Event:
Selection of VCL as the first ESSP mission, given the cost cap, schedule and mission assurance requirements as specified in the initial ESSP AO in 1996. The primary focus of the AO was on good science, low cost, short schedule, and PI led missions. The AO had minimal mission assurance requirements and relied on the proposers to utilize their current and best internal management practices with minimal NASA oversight.
