2 Cost Analysis Direct Costs - directly related to designing, testing, building, and operating the system Indirect Costs - required to do business, but not directly associated with development or operations Management Profit Non-operational facilities Overhead 2
3 Direct Cost Breakdown Non-recurring costs - only incurred once in program, such as design Recurring costs - reoccur throughout the life of the program Per vehicle Per flight Per year 3
4 Nonrecurring Cost Sources Research Design Development Test and evaluation Facilities Tooling 4
5 Recurring Cost Sources Vehicle manufacturing Mission planning Pre-flight preparation and check-out Flight operations Post-flight inspection and refurbishment Range costs Consumables (e.g., propellants) Training 5
6 Refurbishment Cost associated with maintenance and upkeep on reusable vehicles between flights Refurbishment fraction f R - fraction of first unit production cost that is required for average postflight refurbishment Airliner: ~0.001% Fighter jet: ~0.01% X-15: 3% Shuttle: 6-20% Major contributor to space flight costs 6

8 Implications of CERs Launch Vehicles Nonrecurring $42K-$182K/kg inert mass 1st Unit $3600-$10.7K/kg inert mass Manned Spacecraft Nonrecurring $119K-$1.56M/kg inert mass 1st Unit $13K-$90K/kg inert mass 8

10 Costing Applied to Launch Vehicle Design Optimization Approach Minimize Gross Mass Minimize Inert Mass Minimize Nonrecurring Cost Single Stage to Orbit ΔV Distribution (m/sec) Gross Mass (kg) Inert Masses (kg) 134,800 2,937 10,780 13, ,000 2,066 11,123 13, ,000 1,666 11,762 13,428 NR Cost ($M99) ,400 18, kg payload, LOX/LH2 engines 10
11 The Learning Curve The effort (time, cost, etc.) to perform a test decreases with repetition Doubling the production run results in consistent fractional reduction of effort 80% learning curve - 2nd unit costs 80% of 1st, 4th is 80% of 2nd, 8th is 80% of 4th C n = C 1 n p Average cost: C n C 1 n p 1 p p = log C 2 C 1 log (2) 11
12 Cost and Learning Effects Total Program Payload Mass = 1,000,000 kg Nonrecurring Cost Recurring Cost Operations Costs Total Program Cost Payload Mass per Flight (kg) 12
13 Expendable/Reusable Trade Study Total Market to Orbit=1,000,000 kg Cost/kg of Payload ($) Expendables Reusables Payload Mass (kg) 13
14 Cost Modeling RLV Institute MICHIGAN NORTH CAROLINA WASHINGTON Launches Forecast for Commercial Launches Year Commercial Launches During Past 5 Years Launches NGSO Small Launches NGSO Medium to Heavy Launches GSO Medium to Heavy At ~$100M/launch, worldwide annual launch revenue is ~$6-8 B Potential savings by cutting costs by factor of 2 is ~$3-4 B Given a 10 year development program and a 10% discount rate (government support), maximum feasible program cost for new vehicle is ~$2.5 B/yr At a 50% ROI (commercial), maximum yearly expenditure is ~$70 M Only economically feasible as a government program Lauches Year NGSO GEO Budget caps reduced if launch costs don t drop as much (e.g., 75% of current launch costs gives annual NTE of $1.25 B) Incorporation of advanced technology is only justified insofar as it reduces launch costs Design goal is effective, not efficient!!!
15 Parametric Cost Analysis RLV Institute MICHIGAN NORTH CAROLINA WASHINGTON Preliminary model developed to bound problem, identify critical parameters Assumptions: Total program launch mass 20,000 MT Program lifetime 20 years NASA SLVLC model for cost estimates 80% learning curve Vehicle modeled as LOX/LH2 SSTO (δ=0.08; I sp =420 sec avg.)
16 Effect of Refurbishment Rate RLV Institute MICHIGAN NORTH CAROLINA WASHINGTON Payload Cost ($/kg to orbit) Refurb= Payload Mass (kg)
17 Effect of Vehicle Lifetime RLV Institute MICHIGAN NORTH CAROLINA WASHINGTON Payload Cost ($/kg to orbit) Flts/vehicle= Payload Mass (kg)
18 Effect of Total Launch Mass RLV Institute MICHIGAN NORTH CAROLINA WASHINGTON Optimum Payload Mass (kg) Payload Cost ($/kg to orbit) Total Program Payload (MT) 0 Payload Mass (kg) Payload Cost ($/kg)
19 Effect of Refurbishment Fraction RLV Institute MICHIGAN NORTH CAROLINA WASHINGTON Optimum Flts/vehicle Payload Cost ($/kg to orbit) Refurbishment Fraction Optimum Flts/Vehicle Payload Cost ($/kg) 0
20 Costing Conclusions RLV Institute MICHIGAN NORTH CAROLINA WASHINGTON Primary cost drivers are refurbishment and mission operations costs Keep flight rate and production rates high to take advantage of learning curve Strong sensitivity to fleet size Prediction: effects will be worse with RLV Smaller fleet sizes Higher (inert mass)/(payload mass) ratios Effects of vehicle losses on program resiliency Need to add cost discounting Bottom line: compare cost of airbreathing RLV vs. rocket RLV vs. expendable launch vehicle (not a foregone conclusion!)
21 Inflation As money supply and economy expand, buying power of money decreases A fixed sum of money is worth less from year to year Real year dollars - what specific year the money is quoted for (e.g., $M2000 ) Constant year dollars - costing multiyear program based on buying power in single specified year (inflation added later) 21
22 Annual NASA Inflation Rates
23 Cost of Comparable NASA Components $14.00 $12.00 $10.00 $8.00 $6.00 $4.00 $2.00 $ TQ
24 NASA Inflation Factors Year 1959=1 2008=1 Year 1959=1 2008=1 Year 1959=1 2008= TQ
25 NASA Inflation Factors Year 1959=1 2008=1 Year 1959=1 2008=1 Year 1959=1 2008=
26 Example: Saturn V Development Costs Year Real-Year $M $M Totals ($M) ,931 26
27 Cost Discounting Opportunity costs of money Analogous to compound interest at a bank Not the same thing as inflation Basic Definitions: Net Present Value (NPV) - value of future sum today Net Future Value (NFV) - value of sum today in the future Discount Rate ( r ) - annual interest rate Provides a method of comparing costs across multiple years 27
28 Basic Equations of Cost Discounting Net Present Value (NPV) C i = C i+n (1 + r) n Net Future Value (NFV)! NPV of constant annual payments of R! C i = R 1 n (1 + r) r NFV of constant annual payments of R C i+n = R (1 + r)n 1 r C i+n = C i (1 + r) n 28
29 Cost Discounting Example: Saturn V Costs NPV (2000) NFV (2010) Year $M2000 (r=0.10) (r=0.10) Totals
30 Cost Discounting and Breakeven NPV (2000) Year $M2000 Flights Revenue Costs Revenue $8428/lb Totals
31 Breakeven with Discounting Year $M2000 Flights Revenue Costs Revenue $12,660/lb Totals
32 Effect of Moving Revenue Forward Year $M2000 Flights Revenue Costs Revenue Totals $11,480/lb NPV (2000)
33 Internal Rate of Return Discount rate that produces breakeven $M NPV Costs NPV Revenue NPV Benefits
34 Effect of IRR Targets Investors generally require specific minimum values of IRR Have to increase revenue stream to achieve IRR Saturn V launch case: 10% IRR $11,480/lb 25% IRR $17,580/lb 50% IRR $32,700/lb Venture capitalists general look for % IRR with 18-month payback 34
