Abstract
On October 19th, 2018 , United Launch Alliance referred to as
“ULA”, announced
their partnership with Bigelow Aerospace to launch B330, a
space habitat that will
reside in the lower orbit. This paper will explain the details of
the project and ULA’s
involvement. We will evaluate how the company’s overarching
core values align
with the mission of this project, while simultaneously assessing
the Cislunar

5. economy business development opportunity. The results of my
research will deem
this project a good fit for the company and my recommendation
will be to continue
to pursue it. However, this paper will also point out the
shortcomings of human
spaceflight in history, noting key lessons learned the company
must be mindful of in
order to be successful in their future endeavor.

6. B330 Project: Scope, Schedule, and Cost
As recently announced, ULA has joined forces with Bigelow
Aerospace to develop a
commercial cislunar habitat that will operate as a depot in lower
lunar orbit. The
project includes developing a payload with the following scope:
- Two docking systems ( aft and forward)
- Power generating capabilities
- EVA port for astronaut activity outside the spacecraft
- Deployable soft goods
The projected dimensions of the payload will be 6.7M (width)
by 16.8M (length)
weighing 50,000 pounds with the ability to host 6 occupants.
ULA will be
responsible for manufacturing the rocket in which B330 will be
deployed on, the
services of successfully getting B330 to orbit, and ensuring the
crew makes it to the
final destination safely. The project has been kicked off and the

7. scheduled
completion date is projected to be in 2022, (Staff Writers,
2017).Because both
companies are privately held, no cost/ budget for this project
was released. This
initiative will allow humans to explore space like never before,
discovering the
benefits of human spaceflight, space resources, and space-based
power
(Utrilla,2017).
Mission, Vision, and Values: ULA v. B330
Assignment 1

United Launch Alliance’s mission statement states, ” Save lives.
Explore the universe.
Connect the world” (ULA, 2018). Whether it’s a GPS satellite
providing direction to
our armed forces actively protecting us, or a weather satellite
informing
meteorologists of the next natural disaster — the world benefits

8. from ULA’s
products and services. As a former ULA employee, I can attest
to the company’s
dedication to innovation and this mission. They are visionary,
aiming to “harness
the potential of space for humanity “(ULA, 2018). Although
often in the shadows of
their competitor, SpaceX, ULA has numerous projects in
progress that are
revolutionizing the industry. ULA Cislunar 1000, is a separate
initiative to support
1000 people living and working in space is among one of the
examples (Utrilla,
2017). They are also in the critical design phase for their
Vulcan rocket, part of their
“ Next Generation Launch System” that will be used to launch
the B330 project.
George Sowers, the former Chief Scientist and VP of Advance
Programs at ULA, was
deemed the industry expert on the CisLunar economy. He
envisioned a propulsion
system based on materials in which can be derived from ice
mined at the polar
regions of the Moon for sustainability. Advanced Cryogenic

9. Evolved Stage (ACES)
and the XEUS lander, are the deliverables of that initiative
(Sowers, 2016). As you
can see, ULA has been aligning their projects to support
establishing a CisLunar
economy for quite some time now. B330 is one project in a
series of projects in the
program designed to develop and sustain life in space. Due to
this synergy, this
project is a good project for ULA to take on. In addition, with
years of 100% mission
success, ULA provides the reliability a project of this
magnitude needs.

Cislunar Economy’s Impact and Justification
Although the benefits of a CisLunar economy are full of
uncertainty, researchers
have reason to believe resources of interest in space are water
for propellant and

10. consumables, metals, and platinum-group metals ( Utrilla,2017).
The economy
growth is projected to be mainly through metal mining and on-
orbit manufacturing.
Commercial tourism will also arise creating a whole new
demand for space travel.
Furthermore, the increased interest in the CisLunar economy
will increase demand
for rocket launches. In turn, the increased demand, allows ULA
the opportunity to
increase their economies of scale to reduce the launch price.
ULA has looked into
ride sharing that allows various stakeholders buy into a single
launch, minimizing
the customer’s cost.
Conclusion
The research above concludes that the objective of this project
strategically aligns
with United Launch Alliance’s mantra. After carefully
evaluating the scope and
deliverables of the project I have concluded it is in ULA’s best
interest to pursue this

11. project. It is crucial, however, to learn from mistakes of the past
when it comes to
space travel. In 1986, NASA’s Challenger shuttle exploded
within minutes of takeoff
due to a poor seal design, killing all seven crewmembers on
board. Later in 2003,
the NASA’s Columbia shuttle exploded, resulting in another
seven American
casualties. Both events were design flaws that the programs
were aware of well
before each catastrophe (Mahler, 2010). The failure to learn led
the teams to

continue to operate a launch under unresolved engineering
issues. It is important
the project managers and program managers at both ULA and
Bigelow Aerospace
consider the quadruple constraint that poses this project, and
weigh quality above
all else.

Executive Summary
The Executive Summary is a brief paragraph to summarize the
report. Imagine you’re
your reader is a busy executive who wants the ‘elevator speech’
the main idea in short form. The
idea is not to tease them into reading the paper by saying what
you will provide. That’s an
abstract. We do NOT want an abstract. Think of your
audience. She or he wants the bottom
line exposed right here, not a promise, that “in this paper, I will
describe….” NO! They want to

14. know (in this specific case) a little about the project you have
selected and the connection of that
project to the mission/vision/values of the organization. The
length should be about the same as
this paragraph.

15. Description of the Little Rock XYZ Dog Park Project
You would use this area to describe the project you have
selected. How big was it, how
much money, time, are involved, what is the scope of the
project, who are the key stakeholders
(people who CARE about the project while it is under
‘construction’ and when it’s done and
providing its benefits). This will likely be about one page of
text. Below is some filler text, in a
weird form of Latin, I suppose, just to show that length. Don’t
forget to use references to show
where you found the information.

City of Little Rock – Mission, Vision, Values, and its
connection to the Dog Park
Little Rock city mission
It is our mission to ensure our City is a safe, secure, and
prospering place for all to live,
work, and play. (Little Rock City website).
You may elaborate a bit more here, perhaps adding one or two
more paragraphs expanding on
the mission, and/or adding values and vision statements. Again,
phony Latin text illustrates the
approximate length.

The connection to this project
This section IS IMPORTANT. Here you would show how the
project FITS INTO the mission,
vision, and values of the organization. If the organization is
focused on saving lives of dogs in
kill shelters, a space-shuttle launch would not be a very-well-
connected project. A project,
however, to build a website for that dog-saving effort, would be
a good fit. Similarly, the
development of a new type of rocket fuel by NASA may fit well
into a space-shuttle launch, but
a new website for a dog-saving organization would not. This
can be short but it should be very
powerful in terms of making that connection crystal clear.

19. Some more phony text below
illustrates an expected length for this section.
In the case of the Little Rock Dog Park, you could explain that
the establishment of the dog
park would fit neatly into the “play” part of “a safe, secure, and
prospering place for all to live,
work, and play”.
The length
Duo illum similique id. Eu epicurei luptatum pro. Ei velit
eirmod debitis has, ut vitae mentitum
vim. Te suscipit abhorreant has, omnis praesent intellegat ut

Nec no quaeque mandamus similique, nam essent urbanitas

(Moon 2017).
Financial and Other Justification
ASSIGNMENT 1

20. Davidsen
We learn about Net Present Value and Return on Investment and
other financial means to justify
(to provide a rationale for) a project. It is in this section that –
if you can find it – you would put
a summary of that rationale. You don’t need to include all of
the math (the calculations), but if
you find, for example, that the project was determined to have a
NPV of $140,300, you can place
that info here. Include, if available, some of the basic figures
and calculations. If you have lots
of tables and figures (don’t overdo it, just a few, if you want),
include them in an Appendix. The
teaching team understands that not all projects have financial
measures, so if you don’t have it,
just expand a bit on the meaningfulness/importance of this
project to the mission/vision/values of
the organization.
Conclusion
Use this section to briefly wrap things up and tie together your
thoughts. Just one
paragraph is sufficient.
