  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
