摘要

The programmatic foundations for the optimistic technical and competitive outlook for the EELV systems have not materialized. The commercial launch business began again in earnest in the US after the Space Shuttle Challenger accident in 1986 caused a major revision to US space launch policy. US industrial ventures into commercial space launch and then the EELV program's strategy revisions to develop two viable launch provider sources were all based on robust launch demand forecasts that do not exist today. Out of the combined US government and industry review of the string of successive US space launch failures in the late 90's, the Government and industry agreed to jointly undertake additional measures to ensure mission success of the EELV systems. However, neither EELV has flown and perceived risks have resulted in an intensified USG sensitivity for mission success. This means that for the first few years of EELV operations the US government and industry will focus on detecting and preventing early problems and demonstrating reliable performance. Assuming successful EELV launches, the companies should have established confidence in their launch programs by 2005. By that time, better predictive and analytical means may come about to forecast launch demand. Hopefully a more realistic characterization of commercial launch opportunities will exist. With the unique advantage of being the sole sources for the US government anchor business, we believe both EELV contractors could well become formidable international competitors who could dominate the international space launch market.
