Human Space Exploration Framework Summary Presentation to the NASA Advisory Council
Strategy: 1-Fixed Initial Conditions: Mission to a NEA when Affordable
Description: A fixed cost and initial milestone-constrained assessment, consistent with the NASA 2010 Authorization for the DRM 4B (NEA mission) only. Manifest changed to incorporate HLLV test flight. Utilized updated design & cost estimates, that include some lean development options
Simple Result Description: Over-constrained. Does not meet all schedule, budget, and performance requirements. Results heavily dependent upon budget availability and phasing.
