Propellant Depots Enable New Missions Lunar Surface Prop Transfer Solar Probe + Pluto NH Dual-Launch with Depot Trans Mars or GSO Atlas 551 Large Missions Enabled without Developing Brand New Rocket Atlas 552 Delta IV Heavy

Depots Can Enhance CxP Ares V Architecture Lunar Payload Increase With Cryo Transfer (mT) EDS Propellant Mass Beyond ESAS Baseline (mT) Prop Xfer Filling EDS beyond ESAS baseline significantly increases lunar delivered payload EDS is half full in LEO for ESAS Accommodates mission delays or high cryo boil-off Centaur experience shows boil-off variation of factor of 2 Additional propellant launches can replenish cryo propellants Launched empty, LSAM can be very light enhancing exploration Propellant Depots Provide Exploration Flexibility to Accommodate Performance Needs EDS/Altair Orion

Depots Enable Alternate Architectures Lunar Orbit Rendezvous 123126 Propellant Depot 80% of Launch Mass Propellant Transfer Propellant Transfer Propellant depots offer new paradigm. Inherently flexible, readily incorporate future innovation and mission changes. Atlas V 402 Altair Commercial Orion Atlas V Delta IV Scorpius Falcon 9 110t Competitive Propellant Launch

Propellant Depots Can Revolutionize Launch Market Exploration Represents Vast New Launch Market Depots Stimulate Competitive Launch Market Supports Robust Healthy US Launch Industry CxP Hardware LEO Launch Mass (mT) CxP Propellant Historic Non-Shuttle/Exploration Launch Market Annual Lunar Missions

Upper Stage Experience Enables Depots Depots Derived from Existing Upper Stages Support Near-Term Application Centaur-Derived “Disposable” Depot Historic Space Station Depot Paradigm Single Fluid Depot

Depot Technologies are Mature Upper Stage Cryo-Fluid Management Directly Applicable to Propellant Depots Cryo Transfer Technology TRL 0-G Settled Pressure Control 4 9 Ullage & Liquid Stratification 3 Propellant Acquisition Mass Gauging Propellant Expulsion Efficiency 8 System Chilldown AR&D 7 Transfer System Operation 6 Fluid Coupling Passive Long Duration Storage 5 ULA 800 600 Cryo-Upper Stage Operating Time (ksec) 400 200 Centaur Delta Ariane 6

Summary Propellant Depots Create Vast New Launch Market Stimulate Commercial Space Flight Capability Increased Launch Demand Supports Healthy Robust Launch Industry Joint Utilization of Flight-Proven Systems by NASA, DoD & Commercial Provides a Safe, Affordable & Sustainable Approach to Exploration Leverages Existing Investments & Reduces Annual Standalone Lien Atlas V & Delta IV Provide Proven Foundation for Reliable, Affordable & Sustainable Launch Reduced Launch Vehicle Investment Allows Enhanced Investment in Innovation ULA is Prepared to Support the NASA & the Nation
