Excerpt
Excerpt: The program office has increased the NPOESS cost estimate by $1. billion, from $6.9 to $8. billion, and delayed key milestones, including the availability of the first NPOESS satellite-which was delayed by 20 months. The cost increases reflect changes to the NPOESS contract as well as increased program management costs. The contract changes include extension of the development schedule to accommodate changes in the NPOESS funding stream, increased sensor costs, and additional funds needed for mitigating risks. Increased program management funds were added for non-contract costs and management reserves. The schedule delays were the result of stretching out the development schedule to accommodate a change in the NPOESS funding stream.
