A roadmap is articulated that describes what is needed to allow designers, to include researchers, management, and engineers, to investigate, design, build, test, and fly spacecraft that meet the mission requirements yet, be as low cost as possible. This roadmap describes seven levels of tool fidelity and application: (1) Mission Speculation, (2) Management Overview, (3) Mission Design, (4) Detailed Design, (5) Simulation and Training, (6) Operations, and (7) Research. The interfaces and output are described in top-level detail along with the transport engines needed, and deficiencies are noted. This roadmap, if implemented, will allow Multidisciplinary Optimization (MDO) ideas to incorporate radiation concerns. Also, as NASA moves towards Simulation Based Acquisition (SBA), these tools will facilitate the appropriate spending of government money. Most of the tools needed to serve these levels do not exist or exist in pieces and need to be integrated to create the tool.
