44 Market Opportunities Two Examples Liberty Launch Vehicle ATV follow-on

55 The Liberty Launch System KSC Infrastructure Compatibility ATK and Astrium are developing the Liberty TM launch system as part of a new international commercial space transportation business. Liberty’s availability can be accelerated by CCDev2 Program funding Flight-proven, human-rated hardware – better than 1/1,000 ascent PLOC 44,500 pounds into low earth orbit (ISS) Most survivable abort trajectory The potential for first test flight in 2013 Initial crew operational capability (IOC) in 2015 Cargo capability by 2016 Highly competitive unit cost The Liberty Vehicle Offers: Safest, most reliable launch vehicle Heritage design and experience Existing stages – minimal remaining development Designed for human rating (Shuttle and Hermes programs) Absolute minimum “moving parts” International cooperation – advances U.S. national space policy Commercial approach to acquisition – Lowest cost to government, advances U.S. national space policy Maximum leverage of existing NASA and ESA investments – multi $B from Shuttle, Ariane 5, and Constellation Maximum utilization of existing NASA KSC & MSFC assets and infrastructure Strong business case – best value for our space program, low remaining development cost jumpstarts the business Synergistic with NASA’s Heavy Lift planned investments – both programs benefit by using common infrastructure LOX Tank LH 2 Tank Vulcain 2 Engine 5-segment RSRM as Liberty First Stage Ariane 5 core as Liberty upper stage 41 consecutive successful flights 215 consecutive successful boosters launched Provides lift for multiple Crew vehicles and launch abort systems Liberty Height: ft Gross Liftoff Mass: 2.1M lb Ariane 5 Height: ft Gross Liftoff Mass: 1.7M lb Space Shuttle Height: ft Gross Liftoff Mass: 4.5M lb

77 Panel 5 – International Customers, Competitors and Partners Discussion of space transportation policy, market uncertainty and industrial base risks from an international perspective. Question posed to the Panel:  How might international trends and opportunities affect U.S. launch vehicle production and services? Perhaps we should consider:  How might the U.S. best meet national requirements in the context of the global launch vehicle production and services market?  Does current U.S. Government policy provide the framework to foster healthy and sustainable U.S. launch vehicle production and services in the context of the global market?  What is the most beneficial mix of competition and cooperation amongst domestic and international launch vehicle production and service providers?
