  • Abstract
    In today´s environment, building a reliable and cost effective spacecraft is perhaps emphasized more than ever before. Sponsors are looking for the same high quality products but at lower costs and with shorter schedules. Whether it is a spacecraft for the Department of Defense (DoD), a research observatory for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), or a commercial communications satellite, total cost is a significant factor.
