EELV Mission Statement
• Mission:
– Partner with Industry to develop a national launch capabilitythat satisfies the Government’s national mission modelrequirements and reduces the cost of space launch by at least25%
• Objectives:
– Increase the U.S. space launch industry’s competitiveness inthe international space launch market
– Implement acquisition reform initiatives resulting in reducedgovernment resources necessary to manage systemdevelopment and acquire launch services

Drivers to EELV Program
• Key Performance Parameters:
– Launch National Mission Model
– Design Reliability
– Standardized Launch Pads
– Standard Vehicle Interface
• Cost
– Probably first time a space program has cost as THE driver
– Direct Impact to Warfighter

Acquisition Strategy
• Original acquisition strategy formulated in early 1995– Strategy called for downselecting to one contractor
Contractor provides a family of launch vehicles to supportGovernment requirements
Contractor in a position to capture a larger share of theinternational commercial launch market
• Other features of original strategy:
– Cost-type contract for Engineering & ManufacturingDevelopment (EMD) contract
– Two system test flights during EMD
• Approach in strategy revised on 6 Nov 97

Why Change Strategy?
Larger commercial marketthan envisioned two years
ago
Sufficient market tosupport two contractors
Gov’t leverage commercial market competition
Industry InvolvementIndustry Involvement

Why Change Strategy?Changes Since the “Moorman Study”
1994, SPACE LAUNCH MOD. PLAN TODAY
Future med/heavy launch marketdominated by government
Launch market dominated bycommercial market
Little potential in commercial marketfor growth or economy
Tremendous growth potential incommercial market
Conclusion: too many launchproviders/production capacity
Conclusion: sufficient market tosupport two EELV concepts
Recommendation: reduce industrialoverhead; downsize; reduce nichemarkets; DoD pursue innovativeincentives
Recommendation: Partner withindustry to develop EELV family;leverage competition in commercialmarkets
Led to single EELV contractordeveloping a modular family ofvehicles
Leads to two competing EELVcontractors over life of program forcommercial launch services

Summary of Strategy Change
Old
• Cost-type contract for EMD
• Two system test flights
• Downselect to one
• Production
New
• Fixed Gov’t investment fordevelopment in addition tocontractor investment
• No system test flights
• Compete two over life of program
• Launch services

SummaryWhat Does This Mean to You?
• Ensures two viable U.S. providers of launch services, eachwith a Government business base
• U.S. becomes more competitive in international market andcaptures a greater market share
• EELV will reduce the cost of space launch
