“…if airlift operations were conducted in the same manner as spacelift operations,
1.

“each mission would begin with planning to determine
payload characteristics well in advance of launch.

2.

“The aircraft,…late-1950s vintage, would be selected to
optimize performance based upon this payload, wasting as
little performance margin as possible.

3.

“Once the parts of the aircraft arrived at the airport, they
would be wheeled out on the runway, one of the most
expensive pieces of infrastructure,

4.

“…major components of the aircraft would be assembled

5.

“and then the payload would be loaded.

6.

“Since each operation is different, ground crews would
have to improvise procedures for each takeoff.

7.

“…any adverse weather conditions would delay takeoff.
…meantime, no other aircraft could takeoff or land...

8.

“Once the aircraft was finally launched and delivered its
payload, it would be scrapped.

“When juxtaposed in this fashion, it is clear that this approach is severely flawed and in need of
major changes.”

• True Cost Comparisons Are Difficult
– Variable funding, requirements/motives, shared infrastructures
• Knowable Cost Examples
– Shuttle – most expensive, but manned
– Pegasus & Taurus – efficient operations, but high component cost
– Ariane & Delta – reliability attracts traffic, because it lowers costs
• RLVs vs. ELVs
– RLVs can cost less over lifecycle, but only after sufficient flight rate
• General Principle
~ Half of ―ground processing‖ cost is infrastructure
~ Half of cost is for principle processing functions

• Time Is Money: Major Affect on Cost
• Time As a Major Objective: ORS goals Develop, Deploy, Employ
• Manned RLV vs. Other Vehicle Flows: All are ripe for efficiencies

• Example Turnaround – Shuttle, 135-165 Days Landing to Launch

• Example Turnaround – Future Estimates, Vehicles at KSC (chart)

• Lifecycle Phase: Operational / In-Service Use
– Much larger timeframe (and cost) than design and manufacturing
– ISO 10303-239 calls it Product LifeCycle Support (PLCS)
– ELVs still apply, due to repeat build and launch
• Therefore, Design for Supportability (DFS)
– Later, support the design, and continue feedback loop

A Program focusing on
“Product Inherent Design” only
during the Development phases

“Acquisition processes pay too little
attention to supportability and
consistently trade downstream
sustainability for required capability
or program survival. Some program
managers assert that logistics is
their only discretionary account,
making it a frequent target for
inevitable resource reductions.”
―The Future of Product Support‖,
Defense AT&L, Mar-Apr 2010

• The Need to Design with the Ground
– ~85% operating & support costs set early in program
– Documented in many lessons learned, but often is still not learned
• Three Overlapping Methods
– Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA)
 E.g.: Ares I-X BDM/BTM mod on 1st stage
– Design for Operations / Operability (DFO)
 E.g.: USA’s Human Engineering Modeling & Performance
(HEMAP) efforts for future vehicles.
See video:
– Design for Support / Supportability (DFS)
 U.S. & U.K. militaries mandate DFS via ILS (discussed later)
 E.g.: DC-X Delta Clipper experimentally proved DFO & DFS

• Manufacturing Assembly Operations Considerations
– Assemble before pad vs. assemble at pad
– Horizontal assembly, like Russians, & manufacture near launch site
– SpaceX has >90% internal design through operation
 Helps control cost / schedule / quality
Ares I-X
Roll
Control
System

• Integration and Testing (I&T)
– Minimize impacts during integration and test
 E.g. – Ares I-X savings: RoCS hazardous service offline
 Make standard procedures for rapid issue resolutions
– Avoid unnecessary testing
 Consider on-orbit validation & use RCM
– Multi-contractor/-element vehicle example challenges:
 USA integration of Space Shuttle
 USA integration of Constellation’s Ares I-X

• Launch Operations
– Testing continues through countdown, often producing issues
– Same ground processing methods are needed for rapid resolution:
 DFO should plan for easy access to repair/replace components
 Preapproved acceptable defect limits & standard procedures

Causes of Countdown Delays – Delta II and Shuttle

• Post-Flight Operations
– Ground operations begins post-flight for RLVs and ―returnables‖
– Landing & Recovery:
 New Reusable Booster Systems (RBS) plan to cut costs 50%
 Ideally, land at turnaround maintenance site
 Evaluate impacts – Orbiter issues after White Sands landing
– Turnaround: Inspection, deservice, payload removal
 Boosters require significant disassembly and refurbishment
 Standardize payload interfaces/procedures for reconfigurations

• Maintenance, Repair, & Overhaul (MRO)
– ELVs require some vehicle maintenance/repair
– RLVs require extensive MRO
• Unplanned MRO (Shuttle ~ 60% Overall)
– Nonconformances (plan >30% margin)
 Shuttle count was high (see figure)
 Much is due to collateral damage
 Component failures
 Make preapproved solutions:
– Allowable defect limits
– Standard rework & repairs
– Late modifications & tests
• Planned MRO
# of Nonconformances / Flight
– Scheduled maintenance in-flow & overhaul
– Overhauls
 RLV flow maintenance often includes overhaul-type work
 Official Orbiter overhaul was every 8 flights, lasted 1-2 years
– Modifications and technology upgrades
 Shuttle included many during flow—More efficient at overhaul

• Support: Methods/Tools for In-service / Use Life Cycle Phase
– Of many support aspects, focus is on ILS/IPS here
• Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) / Integrated Product Support
(IPS)
– Models: military ―logistics‖, commercial ―product/customer‖ support
– ILS/IPS is a Key Method
 “Neglecting ILS or implementing poor ILS decisions invariably
have adverse effects on the life cycle cost of the resultant
system…
 “NASA is placing renewed emphasis on the importance of
considering the support concept for systems (e.g., a
spacecraft) at the earliest stages of a program or project…
 “…applying acquisition logistics in the design phase is the best
way to reduce the life cycle costs.”
– Dr. Kevin Watson of NASA HQ Logistics

Organization of Technical Information (IPS Elements) is Key
According to 2006 study of information/knowledge workers’ time spent:
 48 % – searching (9.5 hrs/wk) & analyzing (9.6 hrs/wk) information.
 3.5 hrs/wk – in unproductive searches (info not found).
 3 hrs/wk – recreating content that already exists.

• Technical Data – Focus Points:
– Design Data: drawings/models, configuration, etc., often in a PDM/PLM
– Technical Publications (―tech pubs‖): for maintenance, training, operation
• Training & Training Support – Focus Points:
– Training publications, can be compatible with Technical Data
Recommend

International Specification for Technical Publications, &
companion standards: SCORM training & ASD-STE100 English

• Supply Support – Focus Points:
– Spares/provisioning, bill of materials (BOM), supply chain, etc.

  • 4. • Global Space Market Factors – Economics, commercial space, ORS (Operationally Responsive Space), etc. • Affordability – Find ways to decrease costs – Reduce time, yet, maintain quality and safety – What efficiencies can be implemented? – Most space vehicle time is on the ground: flow & infrastructure cost – Why is so little ground attention given during design? • Space vs. Other Industries – Lessons learned from space industry can help – Lessons learned from other industries can also help AIAA Space 2011 Conference & Exposition Page 3 Copyright © 2011 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc. The U.S. Government has a royalty-free license to exercise all rights under the copyright claimed herein for Governmental purposes. All other rights are reserved by the copyright owner.
  • 5. “…if airlift operations were conducted in the same manner as spacelift operations, 1. “each mission would begin with planning to determine payload characteristics well in advance of launch. 2. “The aircraft,…late-1950s vintage, would be selected to optimize performance based upon this payload, wasting as little performance margin as possible. 3. “Once the parts of the aircraft arrived at the airport, they would be wheeled out on the runway, one of the most expensive pieces of infrastructure, 4. “…major components of the aircraft would be assembled 5. “and then the payload would be loaded. 6. “Since each operation is different, ground crews would have to improvise procedures for each takeoff. 7. “…any adverse weather conditions would delay takeoff. …meantime, no other aircraft could takeoff or land... 8. “Once the aircraft was finally launched and delivered its payload, it would be scrapped. “When juxtaposed in this fashion, it is clear that this approach is severely flawed and in need of major changes.” —USAF SPACELIFT 2020 Symposium AIAA Space 2011 Conference & Exposition Page 4 Copyright © 2011 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc. The U.S. Government has a royalty-free license to exercise all rights under the copyright claimed herein for Governmental purposes. All other rights are reserved by the copyright owner.
  • 6. • Focus on Ground Processing, Ripe for Efficiencies • Definition / Scope: – ―Manufacturing‖ assembly operations (-not part fabrication) – Integration and test – In-process maintenance and repair – Launch operations – Reusable / returnable vehicles also include post-flight activities:  Landing and recovery  Inspection, refurbishment, maintenance  Overhaul, modification, reconfiguration Design Fabricate Assemble / Integrate Operate (launch & on-orbit) Ground Processing AIAA Space 2011 Conference & Exposition In-flight, On-orbit Land / Recover Maintain / Turnaround Dispose Ground Processing Page 5 Copyright © 2011 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc. The U.S. Government has a royalty-free license to exercise all rights under the copyright claimed herein for Governmental purposes. All other rights are reserved by the copyright owner.
  • 7. • True Cost Comparisons Are Difficult – Variable funding, requirements/motives, shared infrastructures • Knowable Cost Examples – Shuttle – most expensive, but manned – Pegasus & Taurus – efficient operations, but high component cost – Ariane & Delta – reliability attracts traffic, because it lowers costs • RLVs vs. ELVs – RLVs can cost less over lifecycle, but only after sufficient flight rate • General Principle ~ Half of ―ground processing‖ cost is infrastructure ~ Half of cost is for principle processing functions AIAA Space 2011 Conference & Exposition Page 6 Copyright © 2011 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc. The U.S. Government has a royalty-free license to exercise all rights under the copyright claimed herein for Governmental purposes. All other rights are reserved by the copyright owner.
  • 8. • Time Is Money: Major Affect on Cost • Time As a Major Objective: ORS goals Develop, Deploy, Employ • Manned RLV vs. Other Vehicle Flows: All are ripe for efficiencies • Example Turnaround – Shuttle, 135-165 Days Landing to Launch • Example Turnaround – Future Estimates, Vehicles at KSC (chart) * CBC = Common Booster Core) ** Depends on configuration options and serial or parallel support Vehicle Assembly(2 shifts,& some 3rd ) Launch Operations (3 shifts) Facility Turnaround (Pad, MLP, VAB)** Minimum Time Between Launches** AIAA Space 2011 Conference & Exposition Estimated Days for Example Vehicle Configurations if Launched at KSC 3 CBCs*, 3 CBCs*, 1st Stage, 1st Stage, 5-segment SRB, 2nd Stage, 2nd Stage, 2nd Stage, 2nd Stage Fwd Assy, Cryo fuel RP-1 fuel 4 SRBs 2nd Stage 20 3 20-40 24-38 20 3 10-30 14-38 24 3 12-27 9-44 16 3 10-25 9-34 50 8 30-60 N/A-to-78 Page 7 Copyright © 2011 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc. The U.S. Government has a royalty-free license to exercise all rights under the copyright claimed herein for Governmental purposes. All other rights are reserved by the copyright owner.
  • 9. • Lifecycle Phase: Operational / In-Service Use – Much larger timeframe (and cost) than design and manufacturing – ISO 10303-239 calls it Product LifeCycle Support (PLCS) – ELVs still apply, due to repeat build and launch • Therefore, Design for Supportability (DFS) – Later, support the design, and continue feedback loop Design View of Lifecycle AIAA Space 2011 Conference & Exposition Operational Time View Page 8 Copyright © 2011 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc. The U.S. Government has a royalty-free license to exercise all rights under the copyright claimed herein for Governmental purposes. All other rights are reserved by the copyright owner.
  • 10. • Supportability Considers Total System “Cost of Ownership” Acquisition Costs Development Cost (Research, Design, Test, Production, Construction) Operations Cost (Personnel, Facilities, Utilities, & Energy) Software Cost (Operating & Maintenance Software) Product Distribution Cost (Transportation, Traffic, & Material Handling) Maintenance Cost (Customer Service, Field, Supplier Factory, Maintenance) Training Cost (Operator & Maintenance Training) Technical Data Cost Supply Support Cost (Spares, Inventory, & Material Support) Operations & Support Costs Retirement & Disposal Cost AIAA Space 2011 Conference & Exposition Test & Support Equipment Cost A Program focusing on “Product Inherent Design” only during the Development phases “Acquisition processes pay too little attention to supportability and consistently trade downstream sustainability for required capability or program survival. Some program managers assert that logistics is their only discretionary account, making it a frequent target for inevitable resource reductions.” ―The Future of Product Support‖, Defense AT&L, Mar-Apr 2010 Page 9 Copyright © 2011 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc. The U.S. Government has a royalty-free license to exercise all rights under the copyright claimed herein for Governmental purposes. All other rights are reserved by the copyright owner.
  • 11. • The Need to Design with the Ground – ~85% operating & support costs set early in program – Documented in many lessons learned, but often is still not learned • Three Overlapping Methods – Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA)  E.g.: Ares I-X BDM/BTM mod on 1st stage – Design for Operations / Operability (DFO)  E.g.: USA’s Human Engineering Modeling & Performance (HEMAP) efforts for future vehicles. See video: – Design for Support / Supportability (DFS)  U.S. & U.K. militaries mandate DFS via ILS (discussed later)  E.g.: DC-X Delta Clipper experimentally proved DFO & DFS AIAA Space 2011 Conference & Exposition Page 10 Copyright © 2011 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc.

The U.S. Government has a royalty-free license to exercise all rights under the copyright claimed herein for Governmental purposes. All other rights are reserved by the copyright owner.
  • 13. • Manufacturing Assembly Operations Considerations – Assemble before pad vs. assemble at pad – Horizontal assembly, like Russians, & manufacture near launch site – SpaceX has >90% internal design through operation  Helps control cost / schedule / quality Ares I-X Roll Control System • Integration and Testing (I&T) – Minimize impacts during integration and test  E.g. – Ares I-X savings: RoCS hazardous service offline  Make standard procedures for rapid issue resolutions – Avoid unnecessary testing  Consider on-orbit validation & use RCM – Multi-contractor/-element vehicle example challenges:  USA integration of Space Shuttle  USA integration of Constellation’s Ares I-X AIAA Space 2011 Conference & Exposition Page 12 Copyright © 2011 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc. The U.S. Government has a royalty-free license to exercise all rights under the copyright claimed herein for Governmental purposes. All other rights are reserved by the copyright owner.
  • 14. • Launch Operations – Testing continues through countdown, often producing issues – Same ground processing methods are needed for rapid resolution:  DFO should plan for easy access to repair/replace components  Preapproved acceptable defect limits & standard procedures Causes of Countdown Delays – Delta II and Shuttle AIAA Space 2011 Conference & Exposition Page 13 Copyright © 2011 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc. The U.S. Government has a royalty-free license to exercise all rights under the copyright claimed herein for Governmental purposes. All other rights are reserved by the copyright owner.
  • 15. • Post-Flight Operations – Ground operations begins post-flight for RLVs and ―returnables‖ – Landing & Recovery:  New Reusable Booster Systems (RBS) plan to cut costs 50%  Ideally, land at turnaround maintenance site  Evaluate impacts – Orbiter issues after White Sands landing – Turnaround: Inspection, deservice, payload removal  Boosters require significant disassembly and refurbishment  Standardize payload interfaces/procedures for reconfigurations AIAA Space 2011 Conference & Exposition Page 14 Copyright © 2011 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc. The U.S. Government has a royalty-free license to exercise all rights under the copyright claimed herein for Governmental purposes. All other rights are reserved by the copyright owner.
  • 16. • Maintenance, Repair, & Overhaul (MRO) – ELVs require some vehicle maintenance/repair – RLVs require extensive MRO • Unplanned MRO (Shuttle ~ 60% Overall) – Nonconformances (plan >30% margin)  Shuttle count was high (see figure)  Much is due to collateral damage  Component failures  Make preapproved solutions: – Allowable defect limits – Standard rework & repairs – Late modifications & tests • Planned MRO # of Nonconformances / Flight – Scheduled maintenance in-flow & overhaul – Overhauls  RLV flow maintenance often includes overhaul-type work  Official Orbiter overhaul was every 8 flights, lasted 1-2 years – Modifications and technology upgrades  Shuttle included many during flow—More efficient at overhaul AIAA Space 2011 Conference & Exposition Page 15 Copyright © 2011 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc. The U.S. Government has a royalty-free license to exercise all rights under the copyright claimed herein for Governmental purposes. All other rights are reserved by the copyright owner.
  • 17. • Support: Methods/Tools for In-service / Use Life Cycle Phase – Of many support aspects, focus is on ILS/IPS here • Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) / Integrated Product Support (IPS) – Models: military ―logistics‖, commercial ―product/customer‖ support – ILS/IPS is a Key Method  “Neglecting ILS or implementing poor ILS decisions invariably have adverse effects on the life cycle cost of the resultant system…  “NASA is placing renewed emphasis on the importance of considering the support concept for systems (e.g., a spacecraft) at the earliest stages of a program or project…  “…applying acquisition logistics in the design phase is the best way to reduce the life cycle costs.” – Dr. Kevin Watson of NASA HQ Logistics AIAA Space 2011 Conference & Exposition Page 16 Copyright © 2011 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc.
