TABLE C.1 Cost Growth Findings from the Primary References Page Number Primary Reference Finding 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 Cost growth and schedule slips are nearly universal among the 2 projects studied. The highest percentage schedule growth tends to occur after the 71 start of spacecraft integration and test.

The government should address acquisition staffing, reporting integrity, systems engineering capabilities, and program manager authority. While the space industrial base is adequate to support current iv programs, long-term concerns exist.

For AO missions, consider funding profiles, mission-specific launch 39 12 date constraints, and program funding availability when making selections. For AO missions, consider alternates to down-selecting to two 7 finalists, delay setting the cost cap until PDR, and require proposes to address cost and schedule feasibility.

in the respective report where the item is discussed. Primary Reference 8 is focused on reducing the absolute costs of NASA space science missions; it does not directly address cost growth, and so its results are not included in this table.
