Req. # Requirements Crit. Valid. Appr. Source/Comments1. Mission1.1 Piggyback payload insertion orbit shall be dependent on primary payload orbit 3 Review1.2 Primary payload orbit shall not be affected by piggyback orbit
3Demonstration,
Analysis, Review
1.3 Piggyback payload shall be given 0.6 - 1.2 m/s separation velocity relative to the launch vehicle.Velocity vector shall be along payload longitudinal axis
2 Review
Shuttle Hitchhiker is capable of 0.3-1.2 m/s while the ASAP 5 has the maximum velocity (3 m/s) capability. This and CG data will be required for Tip-off and Collision Avoidance Analysis
1.4 Piggyback payload shall be designed for operation without special orientation or spin required atseparation from launch vehicle 2 Review
Some launch vehicles may be able to provide special attitudes and spin at separation, but commonality defines this requirement
1.5 A representative Dummy Payload shall be provided to launch vehicle provider at the beginning ofthe launch campaign
3 Delivery
1.5.1 The dummy payload shall be flight worthy 2 Demonstration1.5.2 The dummy payload shall be representative of the actual piggyback payload in terms of
mechanical interface2 Demonstration
1.5.3 The dummy payload mass shall be within .5 kg of the piggyback payload mass 2 Demonstration1.5.4 The dummy payload shall have the same CG as the actual payload 2 Demonstration1.5.5 The dummy payload shall take the actual payload's place if it is not ready for integration and
launch 3 Delivery
This allows the launch vehicle provider the maximum leeway in launching without the active piggyback payload in case of schedule delays
1.6 Only one person per piggyback payload will be allowed in launch center during launch1 Review
This is only required by Arianespace for ASAP 5. Other launch vehicle providers may be more lenient
1.7 There shall be no standard access to piggyback payload after encapsulation 2 Review1.8 Piggyback payload shall have lifting points for handling and movement of satellite during ground
operations, transport, and encapsulation1 Inspection
2. Schedule2.1 Launch schedule shall be driven by the primary payload and ONLY the primary payload 32.2 Nominal mission start shall be 40 months before launch (T- 40 months) 2 Review On some missions, notably STS, there
might be some leeway2.3 Application for piggyback use on the launchers shall be a minimum of 40 months before launch (T -
40 months)2 Review
2.4 Interface Control Document (ICD) shall be completed for review by launch vehicle provider aminimum of 25 months before launch (T - 25 months)
1 Review See Documentation section for documents that are also due at the same time
2.5 All piggyback payload testing shall be completed as required in the Validation/Testing section aminimum of 7 months before launch (T - 7 months)
2 Review
2.6 Piggyback payload shall be ready for delivery to launcher integration site for integration with launchsystem 6 months before launch (T - 6 months)
3 Review
2.7 Piggyback payload shall be fully tested, fueled and mission ready for integration with primarypayload-launcher combination a minimum of 90 days (T - 90 days) before launch. 3 Inspection
This requirement is driven by STS Hitchhiker. There may be some leeway for piggyback payload provider
2.8 If required, a Structural Integrity Verification Report shall be ready for review by launch provider atleast 13 months before scheduled launch (T - 13 months)
2 Review
This is required of piggyback payloads on Shuttle Hitchhiker. There is some leeway on Shuttle launch schedules, so delays may be negotiated with NASA. This requirement may be ignored on other launchers

∆V = gIspln(R)
∆V = ∑i {Vi∆mpi/(M(p))} => V∫{dm/M} (from M=Mo to M=Mbo)
= Vln(M/Mo) = gIsp ln(mo/mo-mp) = gIspln(mo/mbo) = gIspln(R)
Where gIsp includes pressure effects; R is the mass ratio: mass(start)/
mass(burnout)

Costs of Orbital Insertion
• Naïve Observations:– Bigger rockets are
cheaper, regardless of who builds them
– ‘50s technology Scout costs @ same as ‘90s technology Pegasus
– Bringing things back from orbit and/or crewed vehicles cost more
– Marginal cost to fly a 10 kg payload is $50k.

Launch Costs vs. Mission Costs
• Rationale
– Add features to achieve cost parity
– Add standards to achieve cost parity
• MIL-Spec parts, testing...
– Increased launch cost motivates:• Risk Avoidance
– MIL and S-Class Parts– Redundancy– More quality control
» Staff + procedures• Higher value missions
– Multiple payloads– More capable spacecraft
» Pointing, power, data rate
– Parity between launch sponsor and spacecraft sponsor
– Ops cost = Satellite Cost = Launch Cost
• Numbers
– Satellite Cost = Launch Cost
– Scout / Pegasus Payloads• ALEXIS + REX: $24M• HETE / SAC-B: $25M• Microsats: $6M• REX / TEX: $6M• Stacksat $6M• 8 x Orbcomm $24M• MSTI-2 $14M
– Ariane ASAP class payloads• Amsat Oscar $200k (typ.)• Oscar 13 $200k• 4 x Microsats $200k• Astrid (Kosmos)$1M
– Ariane / Long March Interstage
• Freja $4M

New Options to Orbit
• Candidates– Aircraft: carry, balloon,
tow
– SSTO: autogyro, Shuttle-like, DC-X, Suborbital
– Sea Launch
– “Cheap” Russian rockets
– Reusable rockets
– “Cheap” US, Indian, Spanish, Brazilian, Chinese or Italian rockets
• Perspectives– Jet Aircraft / Ford
(Taurus) costs over last 40+ years
– Pegasus v. Scout
– AF EELV cost goals (marginal savings)
– Labor cost distortions
– Commercial Competition: Ariane v. Long March v. Proton v. Delta
Enginering 176 #5
Space Transportation’s Future
(15 year outlook)
• Per kg cost may slowly decrease (5% or 10%) - mainly due to competition from new entrants
• Reliability is key, not $/kg• Payload mass (for same
performance) decreasing by 10x per decade– (though large payloads will not
shrink)
• Space Tourism, but suborbital (excepting special cases)
• More use & availability of piggybacks and multiple payload launches
• upper stages replaced by on-board electric propulsion
• Wildcards: siting and environmental issues
• Low cost components ≠ low cost rockets:
hardware vs. reliability $
Hint: Nobody lives at the north pole, and launches won’t cost $10/kg
