The purpose of this paper is to identify a systematic process for improving ground operations for future launch systems. In the case of the Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV), the Space Shuttle operations provide many lessons. There is a general overview of the continuous improvement process, with concentration on the formulation phase. During this phase, critical analyses are conducted to determine the strategy and goals for the remaining development process. These analyses include analyzing the mission from the customers point of view, developing an operations concept for the future, assessing current capabilities and determining the gap to be closed between current capabilities and future needs and requirements. A brief analyses of the RLV, relative to the Space Shuttle, will be used to illustrate the concept.
