Abstract In 1995, I wrote a chapter on the RADCAL spacecraft for Reducing Space Mission Cost, a book in the Space Technology Series. The book was edited by James Wertz and Wiley Larson. In the chapter, I wrote a section on the practices used to come up with a very capable and complex spacecraft at a very low cost. The schedule (from contract award to launch) took one day less than one year. In reviewing that chapter now, after having developed 34 spacecraft, I must say that each procedure for keeping costs down described in that chapter is true today. For this reason, this chapter is largely taken from that 1995 book. It is just as true today as it was then.
