Most of the Department of Defenses (DOD) current, major satellite acquisition programs are in the later stages of acquisition, with the initial satellites having been designed, produced, and launched into orbit while additional satellites of the same design are being produced. Several ofthe satellites now being produced will be placed in storage before being launchedeither in facilities on the ground or on orbit in space. Recent challenges, including a fiscal climate of reduced funds, have led DOD to consider efforts that could significantly change the way itacquires satellites, which may also affect how and when it stores satellites. As DOD considers such changes, it is important that DOD has sufficient insight into the acquisition costsincluding storage of satellitesto minimize the governments risk of paying contractors more thannecessary.
