Guidelines and Metrics for Assessing Space System Cost Estimates

I recently saw a presentation by Bernie Fox of Rand regarding guidelines and metrics for assessing space system cost estimates.  Very interesting presentation (if you are interested in space systems)

The paper includes:

•  Average costs and ranges for space vehicles, subsystems, and components for crosschecks.. Powerful
• Common issues in estimating the cost of space programs
• A space system specific portions of Military Handbook 881b (MIL-HDBK-881b)
• The National Reconnaissance Office WBS for more detailed breakdowns
• Cost / Risk Analysis

If you are involved in space systems you should look at this document
