Description
This paper proposes a conceptual model for the initiation, planning, and execution environment of future human exploratory programs or projects. The conceptual model assumes that program drivers exist and that these extend beyond the technical. Such drivers are often not within the control of program personnel, as requirements definition may be. However, they drive the program by defining the possible. By considering these drivers as elements of sets we may identify them and examine their interactions. The model is presented in Venn Diagrammatic form and the components of the model are identified and described.
The paper addresses the relationships of major parameters which join to form the environment in which major space-related initiatives are conceived, planned, and operated. The paper also provides functional examples of this conceptual model by examining its application in terms of several historical human spaceflight initiatives to show the interrelationship of the model's components. This characterizes spaceflight initiatives in terms of the model's components.
