CONCLUSIONS 

o 15-MONTH SLIDE REPRESENTS ABOUT THE MOST THAT CAN BE. DONE 

THROUGH SCHEDULING TO REDUCE FY 68 AND 69 FUNDING REQUIREMENTS 

AND STILL RETAIN REASONABLE CONFIDENCE 

SOLUTION TO OUTSTANDING PROBLEMS WILL IMPACT ON FUNDING REQUIREMENTS, FOR WHICH A RESERVE IS NEEDED 

WEIGHT AND POWER STATUS IS SATISFACTORY 

o MISSION EFFECTIVENESS WOULD BE IMPROVED BY USE OF 90° INCLINATION 

BASELINE ORBITS 

o DEFERMENT OF DRV AND READOUT WILL EASE FISCAL PROBLEMS AND 

PROVIDE SUBSTANTIAL PART OF WEIGHT MARGIN FOR SHIFT FROM 80 TO
