Should proposals include budget reserve for NASA-provided launch services? If yes, what is the appropriate level?

0

No. 3) Would it be acceptable to independently procure one of the launch vehicles listed in the MIDEX ELV Launch Opportunities document if it could be procured at a lower cost? If so, would reserve need to be included on the non-NASA supplied launch vehicle cost? No. NASA will contract for launch services listed in the MIDEX ELV Launch Opportunities document. However, the Delta II 7920/25 or Atlas IIA may be independently procured by the proposing team. In such a case, the proposal should include budget reserve for the launch vehicle. 4) The funding profiles and total launch costs provided in the Discovery, MIDEX, and ESSP AO’s show some major differences which do not seem to be consistent with the differences in launch dates and inflation rates provided. Why? What would be the appropriate method for estimating the cost and funding profiles for earlier or later launches? We cannot comment on funding profiles in other AO’s. For the MIDEX AO, use Table D-1 in the ELV Launch Opportunities
