  11. A Structured Model of Generic Spaceport Functions • Comprehensive • Catalogs possible functions/sub-functions to build an analytical framework • Framework should be common for both business and technical analysis • Idea is to combine/eliminate as many sub-functions and functions as possible to create a viable architecture • Framework to explore architectures with minimum infrastructure and labor force to produce regularly scheduled, affordable flights (See word file for detailed descriptions)

  16. Defining the Ideal Spaceport. • When you think of advanced spaceports such as those in Star Wars, The Jetsons, 2001: A Space Odyssey, or Star Trek: • What are the characteristics of the ideal spaceport? • What would the ideal spaceport “look like”? • What would the ideal spaceport provide or allow the users to accomplish? • Brainstorm, don’t think about specific technologies. • See input from ASTWG meeting for ideas

  17. Converting the Vision to Objectives. • From the vision, what specific objectives, performance criteria, or measures can we use to define where we are and where we want to be?
