**Opportunities**
- No good models for cost or cycle time estimation for a _MID-LING LEVEL OF ARCHITECTURE DETAIL_.
- Have good APU/Hydraulics data, SSME data and TPS data but _NO GOOD MODELS_ for doing ops analysis quickly, in a repeatable way, at conceptual levels (very early in decision making and design cycle) for these future RLVs sub-systems.
- _MOST SUB-SYTEMS_ lack any level of repeatable operations analysis capability to support RLV designs at any level of detail. Most lack well documented cost, cycle time, process, or knowledge.
- Tremendous gap in _PAYLOADS_ area – need a conceptual level model or repeatable analysis capability for future RLVs as well as documented, well sourced public data and knowledge-base.
- _NO LONG TERM_ “viable options” being worked.
- Need to drag tremendous visualization analysis capabilities to the left in the design phase to be applicable to conceptual level analysis at reasonable (reduced) cost and scaling of such applications.
- _DESIGN ENVIRONMENTS_ may be applied in KSC locally; currently only in use supporting other centers.
