Spacecraft/Vehicle Level Cost Model

This is a simple on-line cost model that provides a useful method for quick turnaround, rough-order-of-magnitude cost estimating. The model can be used for estimating the development and production cost of spacecraft, launch vehicle stages, engines and scientific instruments. The SVLCM is a top-level model derived from the NASA/Air Force Cost Model (NAFCOM) database.
