5 DARPA Leadership Perspective: Attack the cost equation Collectively the space portfolio is supporting responsiveness and cost reduction of launch through ground-based systems. Airborne Launch Assist Space Access (ALASA) aims to enable responsive launch of 100-lb payloads from existing globally distributed airfields to enable next-generation tactical missions The Experimental Spaceplane (XS-1) reusable vehicle capability would extend this capability to 3,000-lb payloads with aircraft-like access to space at 10X lower costs All images are artist s concept Artist Concept Artist Concept 5
6 XS-1 Vision Experimental Spaceplane (XS-1) Step One to Routine, Low Cost Access to Space Break cycle of escalating space system costs Aircraft-like operability enabling low cost, responsive access to space Accelerate introduction of hypersonic technologies and next generation aircraft Responsive platform for global reach national security and commercial applications Enable residual capability for responsive launch of 3,000- to 5,000-lb payloads Open Design Space Technology Configuration Propellants Propulsion CONOPS Up To Industry Technical objectives Reusable first stage Fly XS-1 10 times in 10 days Fly XS-1 to Mach 10+ at least once Launch demo payload to orbit Design for recurring cost 1/10 Minotaur IV (< $5M/flight for 3,000 5,000 lbs to LEO at 10+ flts/yr) 6

13 XS-1 Seeks to Push Mach capability well beyond suborbital tourism Engage FAA-DOD-Industry teams to establish safe standards of practice for new launch systems Leverage commercial sector technology (Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic, XCOR, etc.) Transition vendor/subcontractor technology to commercial sector Transition some system prime technology to commercial sector Transition launch capability to commercial sector Explore new missions like hypersonic testing and point-to-point transport Enable more affordable launch expanding satellite opportunities Trailblaze next-generation commercial space technology, flight envelope, regulatory, new markets, etc. Serve as a step to fully reusable access to space technologies 13
14 XS-1 Summary XS-1 aims to create a new paradigm for more routine, responsive and affordable space operations Artist s concept Distribution Statement A (Approved for Public Release, Distribution Unlimited) XS-1 seeks to: - Address growing launch costs in an era of declining budgets - Lower operating costs to enable new, game-changing capabilities - Leverage emerging suborbital launch technology & entrepreneurs - Demonstrate technology for transition to government and commercial users 14 14
15 Final Thought: Just Do It From the October 9th, 1903 edition of the New York Times: [A] flying machine which will really fly might be evolved by the combined and continuous efforts of mathematicians and mechanicians in from one million to ten million years. From Orville Wright s diary October 9th, 1903: We started assembly today.

17 Mission The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) was established in 1958 to prevent strategic surprise from negatively affecting U.S. national security and create strategic surprise for U.S. adversaries by maintaining the technological superiority of the U.S. military. To fulfill its mission, the Agency relies on diverse performers to apply multi-disciplinary approaches to both advance knowledge through basic research and create innovative technologies that address current practical problems through applied research. As the DoD s primary innovation engine, DARPA undertakes projects that are finite in duration but that create lasting revolutionary change.
