The Dynamic Operational Requirements and Cost Analysis Program (DORCA 2) is described. The computer program provides a top level analysis tool for NASA and relies on a man machine interaction to optimize results based on external criteria. The computer program relies heavily on outside sources to provide cost information and vehicle parameters. Given data describing mission, vehicles, payloads, containers, space facilities, schedules, cost values, and costing procedures, the program computes flight schedules, cargo manifests, vehicle fleet requirements, acquisition schedules, and cost summaries. The program is designed to consider earth orbit, lunar, interplanetary, and automated satellite missions.
