5. Preliminary Cost Estimation Technique
Use cost algorithms with the following inputs for Xo
LV (Use Delta II and Dnepr)
Source: (Trends in Price per Pound to Orbit)
Use 5% of Clv for integration/avionics costs
OTV
$1800 prop cost from Brad’s second week presentation
$40,000 solar array from Tony
$2,000,000 engine cost (estimated)
$100,000 electronics package from Trent (adjusted)
$500,000 avionics package (estimated)
30% integration cost from prop/engine/avionics
Lander
$1,100 propellant cost from Ryan
$500,000 engine cost (estimated)

30% integration cost from total power and avionics
Overhead
10 $100,000/year for 3 years = $3M
3 STK $400,000 each = $1.2M
10 MATLAB $150,000 = $1.5M
