Launch System SelectionSlide 2Slide 3Slide 4Slide 5Launch System Selection(How do we get there from here?)Launch System Selection•System selection process–Define requirements and constraints–Number of spacecraft–Spacecraft mass–Spacecraft dimensions–Mission orbit–Mission timeline–Funding constraintsLaunch System Selection•System selection process–Identify capable systems–Reliability–Performance margin available–Fairing size and shape–Launch Availability–CostLaunch System Selection•System selection process–Analyze capable systems–Maximum accelerations–Vibration frequencies and amplitudes–Acoustic frequencies and amplitudes–Temperature extremes–LV/satellite interface–Kick motor needed?Launch System Selection•References–Wertz, J.
