Description

The National Aeronautics and Space Administrationäó»s (NASAäó»s) Space Launch System (SLS) is NASAäó»s first heavy-lift launch vehicle for human space exploration in over 40 years. For development efforts related to the first flight of SLS, NASA established its cost and schedule commitments at $9.7 billion and November 2018, respectively. The program, however, has continued to pursue more aggressive internal goals for cost and schedule. This report examines the extent to which SLSäó»s (1) cost and schedule estimates for its first test flight are reliable; (2) cost and schedule reserves are available to maintain progress toward this flight test; and (3) earned value management (EVM) data provides meaningful insight into progress. Table and figures. This is a print on demand report.
