ISS/STS -
What kind of support do we need from launch vehicles? (beginning of integration w/ Bo's group)

[& what kind of support can ISS give to EXPL (ED)?]

• Principles = should finish what we start

ISS is almost finished; about to throw it away to start over or give it minimal support => fragile system

• Principle = Design a system w/ robustness & margin
(1) ISS, without shuttle, is not a robust system until some combination of COTs & int'l Can F2y or XX F2B  per year
• Base on Aerospace CRS study w/ capabilities
• Give historic launch rates
• HTV & ATV production
[=> translate to cost]
(2) ISS with no shuttle, & before COTs availability [[strikethrough]?[[/strikethrough]] has little/no margin, & little/no capacity for utilization
