Relevant Coursework: Integer Programming, Military Operations Research: Effectiveness Analysis, Models,

Gaming and Simulation, Discrete Event Simulation, Dynamic Programming, Stochastic Models, Metaheuristics

Analysis of Launch Capabilities for Low Earth Orbit, February 2012 May 2012

Performed an analysis of the (then) current Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Launch Capabilities, limited to those scoring 7

or above according to NASA’s Technology Readiness Level (TRL) scale. Constraints and goals were set by SPEC

Innovations to provide bounds for the proposed model. The primary objectives of this project, relating to both

SPEC Innovations’ needs and the considerations of George Mason University are as follows:

• Display the ability to provide problem definition, stakeholder analysis, operation modeling, analysis of results,

and a viable way forward to our sponsor.

• Demonstrate the training and skills received from the George Mason University SEOR department and the

ability to apply those skills to a diverse set of problems.

• Provide SPEC Innovations with an analysis of current launch capabilities, giving them reasonable estimates

regarding the implementation of the launch capabilities portion of the IAA, as well as an optimal mix of launch

capabilities given current cost and schedule constraints.

• Present SPEC Innovations with an analysis of our resulting including sensitivity analysis for optimization

models, demonstrating how the optimal set of launch capabilities are sensitive to variation within model inputs.

• Provide SPEC Innovations with a risk analysis of current launch capabilities, taking into consideration the risks

involved in various launch capabilities and focusing in particular on the companies or governments providing the

capabilities.

• Give SPEC Innovations recommendations for possible future efforts continuing the work detailed in this paper

as well as future efforts centered on the IAA
