Astronomy sortie missions definition study. Volume 4: Program development requirements

Abstract

Program development requirements for the selected Astronomy Sortie Missions concept were generated and are presented in four parts as follows: (1)the gross planning requirements that must be considered in subsequent phases of the project; (2)the schedules and logic networks for the design, development, and operation of the overall project; (3)the supporting research and technology required to support the project; and (4)the work breakdown data, from which cost data will be generated. Data reported in each part includes the appropriate rationale with explanations of the guidelines and assumptions that were used in the analyses and estimates.
