With many of us having participated in the rigors and reviews of the launch approval process, most feel that some aspects of the process could be streamlined. A more effective launch approval process would shorten and coordinate the deliverable schedules, reduce costs, and help the public understand the integrity of the overall launch approval process. This paper investigates the relationships between various deliverable analyses in order to determine if any improvements can be made. An evolved launch approval process will be presented and tested using a uranium core based power system.
