Abstract
As space becomes an increasingly heterogeneous blend of multi-national commercial, civil, and government systems, additional capability can be leveraged by taking a hybrid approach to space-based services. The choice of service provider must be weighed against requirements such as timeliness, quality, and confidence in the results. We present a method to quantitatively evaluate the overall performance of any space architecture from traditional monolithic systems to fully hybrid systems-of-systems that blend contributions from multiple providers with distinct capabilities. The results can inform operational, planning, and acquisition decisions for both current and future space missions.
