1. Launch Vehicles Technical Committee Report - 17th Annual Small Payload Rideshare Symposium Keith Karuntzos - United Launch Alliance Warren Frick - Orbital ATK June 2015 1Rideshare Symposium 2015

2. Launch Vehicle Technical Committee Descriptions Large Launch Vehicles Technical Committee –This committee will review the status of the current and pending large launch vehicles within the United States. The focus should include both the supply side issues as well as the demand side issues. The compatibility with secondary adapters should be evaluated and the potential availability of secondary opportunities should be discussed; issues of access to secondary capability, scheduling, and manifesting should be identified. Issues, concerns, suggestions, and options should be noted, discussed, and summarized based on the collective views of the committee membership. Foreign Launch Vehicles Technical Committee –This committee will review the status of the current and pending launch vehicles available outside the United States. The focus should include both the advantages and disadvantages of using foreign launchers. The types of secondary adapters or payload interfaces should be evaluated and the potential availability of secondary opportunities should be discussed; issues of access to secondary capability, scheduling, and manifesting should be identified as well as U.S. policies, restrictions, and processes required to take advantage of foreign launch opportunities. Issues, concerns, suggestions, and options should be noted, discussed, and summarized based on the collective views of the committee membership. Small Launch Vehicles Technical Committee –This committee will review the status of the current and pending small launch vehicles within the United States. The focus should include both the supply side issues as well as the demand side issues. Performance, capability, strengths, limitations, availability, affordability should be reviewed. Shortfalls in projected capability and possible increases in demand should be documented; suggestions, concerns, options, and issues should be noted, discussed, and summarized based on the collective views of the committee membership.

3. Launch Vehicle Committees Consolidation Recommendation Recommend that the three launch vehicle committees be combined into one committee to support all launch vehicles that provide rideshare offerings Suggested "Launch Vehicle Technical Committee" description –This committee will review the status of the current and pending launch vehicles across the world. The focus should include both the supply side issues as well as the demand side issues. The types of and compatibility with secondary adapters or payload interfaces should be evaluated; the potential availability of secondary opportunities should be discussed; and the issues of access to secondary capability, scheduling, and manifesting should be identified. Issues, concerns, suggestions, and options should be noted, discussed, and summarized based on the collective views of the committee membership. June 20153Rideshare Symposium 2015
