LAUNCH SERVICES CAPABILITIES, SPECIFICATIONS AND ENVIRONMENTS

This attachment represents the capabilities, specifications, and environments of the Contractor’s launch services, including all standard and non-standard commercial launch services with a clear delineation between each service. The contractor shall update the attachment annually, if applicable, or notify NASA if no changes have occurred. The purpose of this document is to understand the launch vehicle capabilities for spacecraft planning purposes; this information will not be shared publicly but will used for Government purposes. If there are known and planned updates to each common launch vehicle configuration that would impact the values provided in this document, please describe these changes. The document shall address, at a minimum:
Launch Vehicle(s)
a. Define in Table A5-1 the launch vehicle (LV) first stage, upper stage, payload adapter (PA), and payload fairing (PLF) configuration options available for each proposed common launch vehicle configuration. These configurations shall include all standard electrical systems, mechanical systems, propulsion systems, ordnance devices, and flight instrumentation. In addition, include any non-core propulsive stage(s) for the vehicle configuration that are part of each proposed launch service. Thrust and propellant mass shall be included for each stage.
