For PWR team, tasked to provide predictions for HLV development and recurring costs, reliability, ground operations, and facilities costs For OSC team, provided predictions for HLV development and recurring costs as well as facilities costs HLV concepts ranged from two or three stage configurations, with liquid or solid boosters, and clean-sheet designs vs. Shuttle-derived hardware vs. EELV-derived Lead: John Bradford, Elizabeth Buchen Customer: PWR, OSC (for NASA MSFC) Duration: 5 months Date: 2010-2011 14 Experience: Near-Earth Object Study SpaceWorks supported an internal JPL study that investigated a 1-year human mission to a Near Earth Object (NEO) SpaceWorks provided the DDT&E cost, TFU cost and development/production durations for all architecture elements A mixed methodology of cost estimating using industry standard software (NAFCOM, SEER), analogous historical and concept study data, and expert-driven cost equations was used Notable architecture elements included a Cryogenic Boost Stage, Solar Electric Propulsion Stage, and a Xenon Fuel Module Lead: Dominic DePasquale, Elizabeth Buchen Customer: JPL Duration: 1 month Date: 2010 15 Experience: Google Lunar X-Prize with Astrobotic, Inc. SpaceWorks assisted Astrobotic Technology, Inc. by analyzing and determining the commercial potential of future robotic missions to the Moon after an anticipated successful Google Lunar X PRIZE SpaceWorks provided an evaluation of both the development and acquisition costs of Astrobotic’s lander and rover Integrated financial projections were determined using SpaceWorks cost and revenue estimates Lead: A.C. Charania, Dominic DePasquale Customer: Astrobotic Team (Carnegie Mellon) Duration: 3 months Date: 2009 16 Experience: Lunar In-situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) Propellant Services Market SpaceWorks was selected by NASA to perform an economic analysis of a commercially operated lunar In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) facility The Exploration Systems Architecture Study (ESAS) was used as the resource for all NASA Lunar exploration activities The economic analysis focused on three major case studies, differentiated by the location of propellant delivery: Lunar surface, Low Lunar Orbit (LLO), and Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) Lead: A.C.
