This document discusses the challenges of incorporating heritage assets into new spacecraft designs. While heritage promises benefits like reduced costs and risks, it can also introduce problems if not properly managed. The decision to use heritage is often made early in the optimistic proposal phase, before realities are fully known. Thorough documentation review and personnel interviews are needed to understand an asset's reproducibility, compatibility, and adaptability for the new use. Confirming an asset can actually be reproduced is the most important first step, as the other virtues have little value if reproduction is impractical. Overall, heritage requires a careful, fact-based approach to maximize its potential and avoid risks.
