Research on identifying cost drivers and establishing guidelines for optimizing the cost of satellite structures is described. Specifications envelope, qualification philosophy, and standardization and methodology are identified as critical cost drivers. To assess the impact of material selection on achievement of the mass budget, alternative minimum mass and minimum cost design philosophies are applied to a range of materials. It is found that applying minimum mass philosophy to each material, up its performance limit is the most cost effective.
