I. Description of Operations Financed: Launch vehicles for satellites include Delta II, Atlas IIA, Titan II, and Titan IV launch vehicles and the
Inertial Upper Stage (IUS) flown on the Titan IV for Defense Support Program satellites. The medium launch vehicles and the Titan II and IV programs provide launch and orbital support for operational DoD space programs. The Atlas IIA, Titan IV, and Delta II space launch capability at Cape Canaveral AS, FL and the Delta II, Titan II and Titan IV space launch capability at Vandenberg AFB, CA must satisfy the launch requirements of the DoD satellite programs. Delta II, Atlas II and Titan IV launch vehicles mission will transition to the Evolved Expendable
Launch Vehicle (EELV) beginning in FY 2002. EELV will satisfy the launch requirements of the DoD, national and civil users at Vandenberg
AFB, CA and Cape Canaveral AS, FL. The launch rate requirements are a function of the number of satellites on-orbit and their success and failure rates. Resources finance services supporting the various launch capabilities: fuel; overtime; and pad refurbishment and maintenance. The
Launch Vehicles subactivity group also provides rescue and recovery services for Space Shuttle Missions.
II. Force Structure Summary: Launch Vehicles support the various DoD satellite systems, including: Navigational Satellite/Global Positioning
System (NAVSTAR/GPS); Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP); Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS); Defense Support Program
(DSP); Defense Satellite Communications System (DSCS); and the Military Strategic and Tactical Relay Satellite System (MILSTAR). This subactivity group also supports all Space Shuttle missions.

1) Realignment of Funds (FY 2001 Base $114,481) .............................................
The FY 2001 Flying Hour Program reprice, based on the CY 2000 AFCAIG consumption factors, resulted in an overall shortfall which Air Force cash flowed from other Air Force Operation and Maintenance programs. After careful consideration of the alternatives, funds were realigned from this Sub Activity Group.
While we recognize the detrimental impact on this Sub Activity Group, this one-time realignment was necessary to ensure continued aircrew readiness and safety of flight, and will be restored in subsequent years.

When the FY 2001 Flying Hour Program was repriced using the CY2000 AFCAIG factors, the resultant shortfall was cash flowed from other Air Force Operation and
Maintenance programs. Funds realigned from this Sub-Activity Group in FY 2001 have been restored in full for FY 2002.

Program increase provides necessary personnel to begin phase out of the Atlas program. Further, the increase is attributable to the fact that there are 261 compensable calendar workdays in FY 2002 versus 260 days in FY 2001. ii) Titan Space Launch Vehicles (FY 2001 Base $78,515) ................................................
Although the number of Titan vehicles that will be launched in FY 2002 is the same as in FY 2001, the mix between Titan II launches and Titan IV launches changes.
This drives an increase in fuels and supplies as the Titan IV consumes larger quantities of both commodities.

Unit Stand-up ($5,500) - Funding is needed to stand-up units on the east and west coasts to support upcoming launches. Pathfinder Activities ($6,500) - EELV will conduct launch base pathfinder activities for both medium and heavy variants in
FY02. Pathfinder activities will require essentially the same range support as an actual launch but will have no government or commercial mission to charge for required support. Pathfinder activities must be completed prior to first launch.
Critical Infrastructure Upgrades ($3,500) - EELV must fund infrastructure upgrades necessary to support the program (e.g., move overhead obstruction in payload tow route). Upgrades must be accomplished in FY02 to support a December 2002 west coast launch. Training ($3,455) - Air Force Space Command training requirements to support launch operations and pathfinder activities safely and effectively.

The number of launches (Atlas IIA and Delta II) will decrease from 6 in FY 2001 to 3 in FY 2002. Thus, less contractors, supplies, and fuel will be needed to support this program.
