IMPROVING THE METHODOLOGY FOR ASSESSING EFFECTS AND COSTS IN ROCKET AND SPACE INDUSTRY PROJECTS

Abstract

The issues of improving the methodology for estimating the costs of investment projects at different stages of production and operation of industrial products are considered. In the rocket and space industry, it is important to choose ways to jointly assess and analyze the effects and costs that have their own specifics related to the long process of developing, manufacturing and operating spacecraft, as well as assessing the importance of their individual functional parameters in the eyes of certain groups of institutional consumers. The purpose of the study is to develop a methodology for step-by-step cost estimation at individual stages of the life cycle of an investment project in the rocket and space industry, allowing for sound management decisions on their optimization. The research materials and methods include empirical data on the activities of enterprises in the industry under consideration, the specifics of cost implementation during the implementation of individual stages of investment projects using methods of structural, logical, and semantic analysis. As a result, it is shown that it is advisable to take into account the costs incurred at various stages of the investment project life cycle in an industry consisting of a sequential set of stages — design, production, launch and launch, operation of space devices, provision of services to consumers, and completion (utilization of space technology). A methodology is being developed that, on the one hand, would make it possible to reasonably determine the initial values of costs and results, and on the other, its algorithms should provide a reliable management decision on the implementation of innovation and investment projects in RKO. The specifics of the implementation of the life cycle of traditional indicators are not enough to confirm the commercial effectiveness of an investment project in RKO, therefore, existing proposals for determining costs and project performance indicators need further elaboration.
