4 PROGRAM COSTS

4.1 GENERAL. Cost estimates have been prepared for each major subsystem. The various contractors working throughout the study have supplied estimates covering their individual areas of responsibility for research, development and production, including support of the various project-wide activities, such as static and flight testing. These costs have been integrated into a combined funding requirement to arrive at a summary figure for contractor efforts. In addition, a figure is included to show the cost of necessary hardware and services (primarily boost vehicles) assumed to be government furnished in support of the program.

The costs assume the continuance of existing programs (for example, Pratt and Whitney engines for Saturn and Centaur) and use of present facilities on a cost-free basis. No costs are included for flight facility modification, except installation and checkout of Apollo equipment. This is because Apollo is a primary mission for the Saturn Program, and service tower, umbilicals, blockhouse and other provisions for Apollo should be included in the initial implementation of Saturn facilities.

4. 2 CONTRACTOR COSTS. The cost breakdown has been organized to identify cost components by major subsystem and fiscal year (see Figure 29). Airframe contractor costs shown as such include the cost of integrating the various elements shown as subcontracted costs and are based on manpower estimates listed in Table 2. Ground support equipment is generally included as a cost of the particular subsystem with which it is used. Airframe contractor ground equipment is divided into that which would be shop made and that which would be subcontracted.

4.3 DIRECT GOVERNMENT SUPPORT COSTS. The costs included in this section (see Table 3) cover estimated costs of hardware plus launch for the three Atlas/Centaurs, seven Little Joe Seniors, 11 Saturn C-1's and 16 Saturn C-2's. A B-58 aircraft is required on a bailment basis during the capsule-drop test program. Additionally, a six-month boost-vehicle compatibility test program at Marshall Space Flight Center, cost of special recovery crews at the three intended landing sites, and the use of a C-133 aircraft for return of command module and crew are included. In the event that a sea landing is necessary on an emergency basis, it is assumed that pickup and return services would be performed cost-free by the Navy.

No estimates are included for NASA in-house studies, program management expenses, unallocated range costs, or use of existing government capital facilities.

Costs of the ground tracking and communication system were developed on the basis that contractor personnel will man these facilities during the lifetime of the program.

4.4 COST PER SUCCESSFUL MISSION.

The total cost per successful mission is tabulated below:

At a mission reliability of 0.872, the cost per additional mission accomplished becomes 25. 28M/0.872 = $29.00M
