Space Supply Chain Management

SPACE SUPPLY CHAIN Florida Tech UNIVERSITY ONLINE Today and Tomorrow Supply Chain Management two-way flow of materials, finance, people and information from raw materials to end destination. Mankind's Largest Supply Chain In 2011 the global space economy (commercial revenues and government budgets) grew to $289.77 BILLION SUPPLIES GOAL DELIVERABLES There are 1500 suppliers in NASA's supply chain. invaluable life-saving safely deliver human beings and advanced technology between Earth and Space research, communication capabilities and immeasurable potential for other possibilities and technology using the lowest amount of weight possible. 14 Primary Space Shuttle Missions Suppliers All converge at one locaction. In 2011, there were 84 There are an estimated 994 active satellites in orbit around the Earth launches Launched Into Space worldwide. g94 The US launched 8 different types of orbital rockets ATLAS 5 FALCON 9 DELTA 4 DELTA 4-HEAVY PEGASUS HL ANTARES MINOTAUR I MINOTAUR V $450 MILLION $6,00 PRICE PER MISSION Spent per shuttle mission (roughly) payload cost per pound to enter Low Earth Orbit (LEO) $133 MILLION PRICE PER POUND $30,000 typical cargo mission to the (Low Earth Orbit) International Space Station payload cost per pound to enter geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO) $316 MILLION $83.000 spent on rocket fiuel just to get the shuttle into orbit payload cost per pound to land on the moon (estimate) Water and gas are heavy and expensive to ship from Earth 1 gallon of water = 8.3 pounds $690,000 cost to transport one gallon of water to the moon Limitations LOW-EARTH ORBIT CAPACITY: 63,443 LBS MARS GEOSYNCHRONOUS TRANSFER ORBIT ROUND TRIP: 540 DAYS CAPACITY: 13,010 LBS MOON ROUND TRIP: 7 DAYS The Next Step in Space Supply Chain - Depots Depots on asteroids could allow for living conditions in space, cut costs in mining and fuel spending on Earth and enable restocking of gas, water and air in space. 9.000 ASTEROIDS ORBIT NEAR EARTH ASTEROIDS 150+ feet diameter WATER Asteroids contain water (H2O) which can be broken down into PLATINUM oxygen for breathable air; liquid oxygen and hydrogen are components for rocket fuel. Asteroids are abundant with rare platinum-group metals such as: gold, platinum, palladium, osmium and iridium. Some contain up to 130 tons of platinum, more than is mined in an entire year on Earth $23.000/LB Platinum-group metals are used in: medical devices - renewable energy products - catalytic converters - automotive fuel cells MOON DEPOT LOW GRAVITY The Moon's gravity is 1/6th of Earth's meaning less fuel required to launch. Spaceship recharge and launch station HELIUM-3 RAW MATERIALS Helium-3 is available in usable quantities to create nuclear fusion. The lunar surface has the raw materials necessary to create a Solar Panel farm. Logistician employment is projected to grow by 26% / 14% faster than the average for all occupations from 2010 to 2020.
