VISION TEAM FOCUS AREA TEAMS ASTWG ADVISORY FUNDING The ASTWG Technology Planning Process Systems Definition Performance Gaps Technology Gaps Technology Development Today's Spaceport System Spaceport System Macro Selection Today’s Technology Future Space System Needs High-Level Trade Study Priority Setting Future Technology Requirements Vision Project Implement-ation Technology Trade Study Spaceport Stakeholder Needs Future Requirements

  3. Today’s Macro Space Transportation System Space Transportation System • Vehicle • Mission • Deliver payload/crew into space • Return payloads/crew from space • Functions • Propel • Navigation and Attitude • Life support • Abort, rescue • Maintain environment (radiation, cleanliness, temperature, etc.) • Payload • Mission • Accomplish in-flight mission • Functions • Power the system • Communicate • Perform in-flight tasks (communications, remote sensing, experimentation, manufacturing) • Spaceport • Mission • Provide support for processing and launch/landing • Functions • Process vehicle and payloads • Checkout • Launch • Landing • Payload integration • Mission success decision making (weather, vehicle health) • Environmental compatibility • Range • Mission • Provide for transport of humans and cargo to and from space • Ensure public safety during operations • Satisfy customer requirements • Functions • Commanding (terminate/abort flight and control of flight) • Perform data analysis and decision making • Collect, process, distribute, display, and archive data: • Tracking data • Telemetry data • Surveillance data • Weather data • Provide communications architecture • Coordinate Range Assets

  4. Spaceport • Mission • To enable and facilitate launch service providers access to/from space by providing necessary resources • Functions • Test & development (technology insertion) • Payload delivery & processing • Process/launch • Landing/recovery (RLV) • Support R&D • Test and development (technology insertion) • Tourism/comm ventures • Municipal services • Logistics • Regulatory • Security • Hazardous material/emergency response • Coordination with range activities

  5. Spaceport Stakeholders’ High Level Needs Today’s Needs Future Needs Stakeholder Group Stakeholders • Federal Spaceports • State Spaceports • Commercial Spaceports • Developing Spaceports Spaceports (Owners & Operators) Launch Vehicle Providers & Developers (Customer) • DoD • Civil • Commercial Payload Providers and Developers (Customers) • DoD • Civil • Commercial • U. S. Air Force • U. S. Army • U. S. Navy • NASA • State/Commercial Range Administrators (Oversight) Federal and State Governments (Funding and oversight) • U.S. Government • FAA • State Governments

  6. Outcomes Profitable--"become larger than home depot" Assure access to space Safety/reliable Low cost/responsive access Positive community value Flexible/adaptable vehicle Fast, safe, reliable, inexpensive, convenient Easy to use More secure Characteristics Safe, secure, & reliable Responsive to customers High volume Fast High availability Low cost Positive economic outcome for community Drives standards for industry Flexible, room to grow User-friendly Environmental friendly Community synergy Productive workforce Spaceport Vision
