REFERENCE:7 Memorandum for the Secretarrof.Defensexsubject: 

MOL Program, dated June" 28, 1985..-- 

The Secretary of the Air Force memorandum of June 28, 1965., 

,.proposed a Manned Orbiting Laboratory (MOL) Program which would 

.demonstrate a manned optical reconnaissance system promising, 

ground resolutions of The memorandum 

'requested specific approval to enter the Definition Phase of the' 

Program,. and. this authority was directed by Presidential 

announcement on August 25, 1965. This memorandum presents a 

`summary description of a MOL Program which has evolved from 

the Definition Phase studies conducted since August of last year 

and specifically requests a level of funding to support the tech 

nical baseline and schedule for that program. Attached to this 

memorandum are documents which you. may need to help you and the , 

-...Director, Defense Research and Engineering in assessing the need', ,

'for the funding requirements stated. It is recommended that you 

seek approval of the MOL Program schedule and concept as describe 

in this document which will cost, for development,,approximately. 

41.75 billion over the next five fiscal years. 

I believe that a program which best balances the date of the 

first manned flight with an orderly progression of the development 

program will require a FY 1967 RDT&E funding level 3f approximately 

;$254. million. Funding levels appreciably lower than this will slip' 

-the schedule for a manned reconnaissance capability. Neither the. 

program total nor the FY 67 funding requirements quoted include 

'allowaraes for contingencies, negotiations, advanced s` ,dies and -

Also shown are below-the-line items unich include funding 

requirements in two basic categories; those which will increase the 

basic mission capability of the MOL system -and those which support.. 

the development .of new missions. In both categories there .are

items which when funded in FY 67 would greatly' enhance the health 

and future of the MOL Program. Therefore, I would like to solicit 

your support for reprogramming $13.9 million for advanced studies. 

. and technology tasks. 

Program Scope 

The attached tabs point out in summary detail that our recommendations are based upon the results of Contract Definition effort which 

has been underway for the past ten months. The initial objective of 

the MOL Program remains the development and early demonstration of anoperationally useful high resolution optical reconnaissance system 

capable of achieving of ground resolution or better. In 

meeting this objective, consideration will be given to extending onorbit lifetime, and to incorporating on a timely basis advanced 

optical sensors capable of affording resolutions on the ground. 

The system 

will provide the option of operating in either a manned or an unmanned 

mode. The MOL Development Program as now recommended will support an 

operational program which can use both manned and unmanned versions of 

the system in whatever manner is most consistent with individual mission 

,requirements, and the international situation that may exist .45.t the time 

The development and demonstration of other military mission applications of MOL such- as SIGINT and Ocean Surveillance remain as secondary 

objectives. Provisions for the introduction of these missions, both in 

.the form of supporting experiments and full-scale demonstrations, will 

be considered in vehicle. design, insuring that the initial objective is 

not Compromised 

Aecommodation of DOD and NASA scientific and technological experiments is a tertiary objective. We hope to pursue an experiment program 

of significance and value throughout the MOL Program, but without 

..,interference to principal military objectives. Although a broad 

spectrum of experimentation is encouraged,priority will be shown to 

-those which support_the investigation of the utility. of military manned 

space flight. - • - 

Five basic elements comprise the MOL vehicle system. These major 

system segments and the associaWCOntractOrs responsible for their 

development are

Approximately $90 million has been expended during the past ten 

months of Phase I Definition. These funds have been applied to the 

engineering definition of the major system segments, the engineering 

and hardware for the Heat Shield Qualification (HSQ) flight from ETR 

later this year, and in the case of Eastman'Kodak extended to hardware development, procurement of long lead items and construction 

of industrial facilities associated with the acquisition of the 

INDRIAN payload. During the MOL Definition Phase, contractors' roles 

:;and responsibilities were established and delineated for mission 

system hardware. These functions are discussed in detail in TAB_A 

to, this memorandum. 

The associate contractors have submitted their cost estimates 

.for Phase II Development based on latest program guidance and direction on hardware definition and schedules. The contractor proposals, 

- based on an earlier definition of the program baseline, have received 

thorough in-house review and evaluation by the Air Force and the 

results constitute the definition of. the current system baseline. 

Schedules and costs are documented in considerable detail in TAB B 

to this memorandum. The contractors' estimates submitted on the 

ibaseline will serve as a departure point for Phase II contxact 

negotiations to commence during the latter partof this month. With: 

the exception of those contracts written for the DORIAN effort and 

those elements which directly interface with the acquisition of the 

sensor payload, it'is our intent that contract funds for RDT&E will 

be dispersed under incentive type contract arrangements. Realization. 

of this goal will give incentive type contracts which approximate 

over 70 percent of total program costs. 

A number of very important technical decisions and changes in 

program content and concept have occurred-during the past ten monthsof Phase I Definition. The program. proposed in late June 1965 

consisted of seven launches, two unmanned and five manned, from the 

Western Test Range. The two unmanned development launches were 

scheduled for early test of system hardware exclusive of optical 

sensor equipment which was identified as the-critical pacing item in

the original schedule that projected a first manned flight of late 

1968. • This original planning date was structured to provide the 

desired mission capability.at the earliest possible date, and was 

based on initiation of Phase II engineering development at the 

beginning of calendar year 1966. On this planning date, the total 

cost of the development program was estimated at $1.5 billion. This 

.original estimate was based entirely on the primary reconnaissance 

mission of the MOL. It did not include funds for experiments nor 

for any effort related to additional missions such as SIGINT or 

Ocean Surveillance in which the Navy has expressed considerable 

interest but which have not yet been approved by the Department of . 

Defense. 

A more realistic appraisal of development lead times completed 

during the definition phase studies on the DORIAN payload made it 

necessary to revise the phasing of development schedules for all 

major segments of the program. OUr current estimate is that first 

manned flight with DORIAN optics cannot occur prior to December 1969.: 

This is to be accomplished using the DORIAN Compatibility; ilodel 

with the possibility of using high quality optics. The results of 

this schedule revision plus program impact from the budget limitation': 

placed on the MOL Program for FY 1967 made it necessary to reorient 

the Phase I contract schedules and to adjust contractors' level of • 

effort during the last quarter of FY 1966 and throughout FY 1967. 

This required extending the system definition studies on the . 

Laboratory and Nission Modules with Douglas and General Electric 

and the Gemini B spacecraft with McDonnell through August 1966. 

Phase II activities will be underway by September 1, 1966 at a pace 

and level of effort which is balanced with the other segments of the 

program. Concurrently, we have Continued, paced only by technical 

limitations, with the engineering design, the proCurement of long 

lead items and the industrial facilitization required for the 

development and acquisition of the optical-sensor package, We also 

have implemented on a controlled schedule,, a moderate levelOfeffort:j 

for continuing the development of the Titan III'seven-segment solid 

rocket.motors and the necessarytodifidations tothe ore Stage I 

.engine to meet MOL:requirements. 

In addition to the above schedule adjustments, guidance received' 

from the Panel on Reconnaissance of the President's Science Advisory 

Committee (PSAC) and the Department of Defense resulted in changes 

to the MOL baseline. Specifically, the requirement that the reconnaissance system, be designed from the beginning to provide the option 

to be operable in either a manned or an unmanned mode has been - • 

placed in the MOL system specification. Contractors' roles and 

responsibilities now are aligned to include this dual mode as an 

integral part of the development program. The program is currently 

planned with the option that two of the seven scheduled launches can. `- 

be flown in the automatic (unmanned) mode- As previously proposed,

all launches will be made using the seven-segment 120-inch diameter 

solid rocket motor Titan III with specific improvements on the 

airframe and liquid rocket engine necessary to meet the MOL payload 

requirements. The other systeM Segments are as described in TAB B. 

The configuration selected for the MOL system to accomplish an 

early manned demonstration of high resolution optics has followed 

the primary criterion of a minimum cost program. Existing flight 

and ground system hardware and capabilities fram the DOD and NASA 

inventories are being used to the fullest possible extent. This 

optimized'selection has been made only after thorough examination 

during the'Definition Phase of the many alternatives and trade-offs 

of subsystems and components developed and tested in other manned 

and unmanned space systems. Extended life capability will be achieved 

through minimum modification of existing systems by means of 

redundancy, spares, maintainability or product improvement, and a 

minimum of necessary. new subsystems or components should be proposed 

for development. The Air Force, throughout the Definition Phase, 

has insisted that the contractors be continuously conscious of cost: 

effectiveness in their design definition. In preparation of this_i: 

submission, cost reduction items totaling over $100 million were 

identified and agreed to by both the Air Force and the contractors 

and theie savings are reflected in the cost estimates. detailed in: 

TAB B to this memorandum. It must be emphasized that these cost 

estimates support the "baseline" requirements of the primary program' 

objective and no contingency funds have been added to allow for 

uncertainties which normally arise in this type of development. 

The estimates are based on comprehenSive analysis made with contractors who have been selected to do the actual:work onthe:basia 

of detailed specifications furnished by the AirForce 

In sum, we feel the MOL Program will give us: first, operar,

of seven launches is proposed and the schedule was summarized at 

the beginning of this memorandum. The first manned launch would 

take place late in calendar year 1969, and the last development

(MOL FLT 3) in December 1969 would be preceded with two. unmanned

flights in April and July 1969 for the purposes of qualifying the 

Gemini B Spacecraft, the Titan III uprated booster and orbiting 

vehicle structures. The last two of the five total reconnaissance 

payload flights scheduled for October 1970 and January 1971 are . 

planned for operation- in the fully automatic unmanned mode. This 

schedule will provide operationally useful take at the earliest 

practical date in consideration of system and sensor development 

and is expected to provide increased quality and quantity of mission 

data as the flight test program matures. 

Program Costs 

The Phase I program definition efforts have resulted in 

moderate changes in estimated program costs. The program being 

submitted by the Air Force and recommended in this paper for funding 

approval is estimated at $1.75 billion for the development phase. 

One of the major objectives of the Phase I effort was to establish a 

firmer grasp of the anticipated program costs. Part of the increase 

in our current estimates is due to increased scope received during 

the definition phase to incorporate the option for both a manned 

-and automatic mcide'of operation. Initially, the MOL Program was 

to share the cost. of the Titan III AGE at WTR with other users; 

- this construction is now being totally funded within the MOL Program. 

Part of the increase is due to the need to procure. new uprated 

Titan III launch vehicles in lieu Of five new vehicles ,plus modification of two R&D boosters as originally:planned. Thenine-month -

schedule delay in the flight test program, due to pacing development ' 

of the sensor payload and the inclUsion of GeneralLElectric as a 

major participating associate contractor are .still other Changes 

- which were either unforeseen or not fully understood a year ago. For 

the most part, the rest is due to more realistic estimating of what 

it will actually take to accomplish the development tasks and, of 

course, costs escalation also have contributed to increased estimates. 

It is difficult to be sure that deveiopment costs will not. exceed 

the $1.75 billion estimate and It must be emphasized again that thi0 

is a Program Office_ estimate based on in-hOuse studies and contractor 

proposals, and that no contingency funds have been included in this 

estimate. The next. total program cost estimate Closer to actual 

future expenditures will be forthcaMinga.fter contract negotiations, 

are complete. 

At the present time the $1.75 billion appears to be a reasonable 

estimate of the total development cost and $253.9 million of new 

obligating authority appears to be the minimum funds required in FY 

1967 to meet the schedules and technical objectives of the MOL Program

Conclusions 

In summary the definition phase of the MOL Program has been 

conscientiously undertaken during the past ten months by the Air. 

Force and the contractors. Unquestionably, it has yielded valuable 

results. The program as now defined and recommended for funding 

approval will satisfy the national need for high resolution satellite 

reconnaissance photography at resolution or better. Technically, the feasibility of the MOL Program has been affirmed by the . 

Phase I study; the areas considered to include technical risk have 

been studied in detail, and as a result we have much more confidence 

in our performance predictions. The schedules which have evolved 

from our Phase I analyses of development lead times provide the best • 

balance of orderly progression for system development and first 

manned flight in late 1969 with fiscal year budgeting. The critical 

system segments of the program as now defined are paced only by 

technical limitations and our ability to accurately forecast their 

magnitude and frequency. Our estimate of total program costs, while 

moderately higher than our original proposal, is judged to be reasonable in consideration of changes which have occurred in program content 

and scope during-the past year. The $253.9 million is a minimum 

estimate of FY 1967 requirements for the schedule proposed. An additional $13.9 million in FY 1967 would provide the fUnds to carry on 

advanced studies and technology development to alldw for system 

improvement and lead toward future- system applications for MOL. 

Actions Requested 

The following specified approvals for the MOL Program are 

requested:
