Launch Operations Cost Inflation
Definition
LSOCM estimates operations costs from shuttle/ELV data, translating vehicle size to facilities costs per cubic foot; errors inflate total mission costs.[4]
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: AUD 2-5M excess facilities/GSE per program; 10-20% range/launch site overruns.[3][4]
- Frequency: Per launch operations cycle
- Root Cause: Inaccurate translation of vehicle parameters to facilities and refurbishment costs.
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Space industry in Australia 🇦🇺 incurs AUD 5-20% excess in operations via poor LSOCM allocation. Automation captures all O&S elements accurately.
