Summary NASA Flight Projects range from enormous flagship missions that cost multi-$B down to CubeSat technology demonstration missions that cost less than $100K. All of these projects have aspects in common and aspects that are very different. NASA has steadily been moving from a one-size-fits-all approach to flight projects towards allowing a significant range of risk postures, processes, and mission assurance. This talk will go over the common aspects of all flight missions, and the particular challenges of managing small, low-cost missions with limited resources. We will try to answer the question of which type is harder to manage.<br>

My Background Trained as an Astronomer
So a weird hybrid between a Scientist and an Engineer
Started with Instrument Development
Instruments are mini-projects and have all aspects
Moved into Planetary Robotics
Learned Systems Architecture, Systems Engineering and Integration
Moved into Spacecraft Design
Carries the instruments and enables the science
Involved in a Range of Projects:
Skunkworks (Rovers, Landers)
Commercial (LM A2100)
Medium (Pathfinder, LRO, LADEE, Arcus, HS)

Larger Missions are more rewarding, but Skunkworks are more fun<br>
