NSSL Future Needs

• Transition to resilient space architecture

• Increase in higher energy missions

• More multi-manifested missions (dedicated / excess)

• Potential new orbits / mission areas

• Increase number and type of launch systems

• Increase number of and geographic dispersion of launch sites

• Operate through threats like weather, cyber, etc.

• Varied payload security requirements

• Ability to do traditional and rapid SV/LV integration

• Supporting anticipated launch tempo increase

• Harness innovative best practices

• No significant launch development RDT&E investment

Provides consistent demand, gain EoQ

Addresses manifest flexibility

Ensures capability for hard missions

Dual Lane Advantages

Provides annual opportunities so systems in development can on-ramp when ready

Provide additional resiliency through new launch systems

• Operational Imperative: Launch must deliver national security space capability to the warfighter to deter/defeat current, emerging and future threats

• Approach to meet imperative: Provide assured access to space to the integrated space architecture at affordable prices

• Phase 3 Acquisition Strategy: Execute a dual-lane approach with two separate contract types to fulfill program requirements

Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to on-ramp new systems & emerging providers for missions that are more risk tolerant

Longer-term Indefinite Delivery, Requirements contracts - commitment to assure access to space for missions that cannot fail

Early Integration Studies (EIS) for First Ordering Year of Phase 3 Lane 2

• Early Integration Studies (EIS) is vital for first-time missions and/or new entrant launch vehicle configuration for first ordering year

• Risk reduction activity

• Informs Government on compatibility between launch vehicle (LV) and spacecraft

• Identifies space vehicle’s (SV’s) mission unique requirements

• Assesses LV’s ability to meet SV interfaces

• Offerors interested in conducting EIS for missions ordered in the first ordering year of Lane 2 must be:

• LSP with certified system; or

• LSP with approved certification plan for your proposed launch system

• If an Offeror is neither of these but is interested in conducting EIS

• LSP must submit a Statement of Intent (SOI) to initiate a certification plan for your proposed launch system

Please submit SOI for your proposed system by 1300 PDT on 9 March 2023

Semper Supra 49

• Updated Mass to Orbit Reference Orbits and Orbital Parameter Accuracy limits based on recent SV mission survey

• Updated Overflight requirement to focus more on minimizing unintended disclosure of critical technology

• Updated Orbital Debris, Range Safety, Protected GPS, Disposals, and Cyber Security requirements

• Removed Category A Payload Envelope

• Added 103-inch (2624mm) diameter payload interface as standard service

• Added Payload Fairing Internal Pressure limits for venting and mitigating risks

• Added LV-to-Payload Shock levels for

LSP-provided separation systems

• Added tabular data for graphical data

• Updated routine access, SV mass properties, ground ops, electrical interfaces, environments, mission design, LV commands, RF attenuation, and MSE accommodations requirements

Yes Begin NRDV*/ Certification via CRADA

Entry Requirements: Proposed System Must

• Lift payload mass of 20,000 lbs to LEO of 100 nm altitude with 28.5 degrees inclination

• Meet 97.5% mission reliability **

• Provide 3-sigma orbit insertion accuracy **

• Meet interface requirements in SIS **

• Be a U.S. launch system and company

New Entrant Viability

• One or more launches of proposed launch system, or

• Previous experience as Launch Service Provider, or

• Established manufacturer of space launch propulsion systems

NECT

Interacts with NE

NE Contacts NSSL Program for NE Process

Info

NE Submits Statement of Intent

* NRDV includes meeting all NSSL requirements ** These are consistent with the SPRD rev C (2023) and SIS rev D (2023)

Note: See New Entrant Certification Guide (NECG) for details on Certification Process

– Gen Raymond, USSF Vision for a Digital Service (2021)

This Vision of a Digital Space Force is defined as: an interconnected, innovative, digitally dominant force

– USSF Vision for a Digital Service (2021)

DoD’s approach is to securely and safely connect people, processes, data, and capabilities across an end-to-end digital enterprise

– DoD Digital Engineering Strategy (2018)

[Digital Modernization] will enable increased lethality for the Joint warfighter, empower new partnerships that will drive mission success, and implement new reforms enacted to improve capabilities across the information enterprise.

– DoD Digital Modernization Strategy (2019)

AATS Digital Vision

UNCLASSIFIED

Vision: “Preserve and advance national security interests through globally competitive Ranges with capacity to support launch and test operations on demand.”

- Gen. John “Jay” Raymond, USSF ROTF 2028 Strategic Intent

• Priority 1: Evolve Eastern and Western Range capabilities to support all phases of launch and test operations for multiple users simultaneously.

• Priority 2: Deliver streamlined, equitable access to Range resources while creating and improving upon public services and infrastructure at both the Eastern and Western Range.

• Priority 3: Transform Range Business Model to be agile and responsive to Commercial Space Industry while preserving DoD test capabilities.

• Priority 4: Evolve and integrate U.S. Space Force Ranges into national space transportation and commerce system.

AATS is positioning to Leverage Commercial Space-Lift Market Boom

• ER/WR transitioning from manual Flight Termination System (FTS) to AFSS

• Govt. standard identified (RCC 319); industry develops compliant systems

• Range Safety and FAA certify commercial systems

• 1 Oct 2025 implementation deadline set by CSO (Gen Raymond)

• AFSS is a key enabler for spaceport operations

• Increased throughput; allows parallel pre-launch, launch and test operations

• Reduces launch-on-time risk and increases flight-paths

• Provides significant cost savings to range and range users

• ~50% saving for commercial providers on an AFSS Range

• Allows divestment of range critical systems and manpower

• SSC/S3 monitoring launch service provider (LSP) progress

• Industry developing variety of vehicle specific and commercially available systems

• Current & projected ER/WR LSPs on track to meet mandate; NASA SLS currently at risk

AFSS key to increased range capacity/cadence
