THEMIS SRR MO-32UCB, July 8-9, 2003 Cost/Schedule Probe & Probe Carrier Mission Requirements & Instrument Interfaces well defined by UCB Detail WBS generated for Probe & Probe Carrier. Work well defined by Subsystem Leads and priced down to 5 th level based on recent programs –NRE & RE well defined –Comparison/Analogy – EO1, FUSE & MAP –Detail Engineering/Grassroots Long Lead items have been identified and Major subsystem/components rely on hard quotes from prominent Industry suppliers Detail Mission Schedule developed & iterated with subsystem Leads in order to time phase costing Probe Carrier & Probe Structures costing relies heavily on Swales experience on Commercial Aerospace programs. GSFC Testing facility costs for Mission integration based on quotes from Mantech Following completion of detail costing an assessment was performed using Parametric techniques based on Aerospace Corporation Small Satellite Cost Model (SSCM 98). Results correlate between Swales detail costing and SSCM within 10%. See detail in Swales Cost Proposal!
