SUMMARY:SoCal Chapter Webinar: BUZZCRAFT: Evolution of A Sturdy Cislunar Cycler Architecture in Support of ARTEMIS for Permanent Lunar Settlement Logistics
DESCRIPTION:BUZZCRAFT: Evolution of A Sturdy Cislunar Cycler Architecture in Support of ARTEMIS for Permanent Lunar Settlement Logistics\nThursday\, June 20\, 2024\n12:00-1:00pm Pacific/3:00-4:00pm Eastern\nAs part of the Artemis program\, NASA intends to have boots back on the moon by 2026\, with help from the Gateway station in lunar orbit. However\, questions persist about the physiological consequences of prolonged exposure to deep space radiation on the crew\, especially during the upcoming sunspot cycle 25 solar maximum period that will peak during Artemis mission execution. Furthermore\, there is currently no cislunar infrastructure in place to aid with rescue missions in the event of an anomaly requiring crew extraction on the lunar surface\, nor is there a reliable logistics channel and communications link to the Moon. \nBuzzCraft concept architecture is an alternative to the current Gateway station proposal that seeks to address both of these issues. Attributes of the BuzzCraft architecture are presented. This Buzzcraft cislunar Cycler would serve as a crew emergency and rescue system and also initiate the evolution of a cislunar logistics channel adding vital value to the Artemis effort. Eventually\, Buzzcraft could also evolve into Gateway in different orbits including the near rectilinear halo lunar polar orbit(HALO) that is proposed currently. \nThe BuzzCraft architecture designed to be supported by already existing space technology\, both human rated and non-human rated\, including NASA and existing commercial space assets. Tried and tested Apollo hardware including the Lunar Module(LM) and the Apollo lunar surface EVA suit can be quickly upgraded for the Artemis lll mission. As a result of space qualified derived hardware\, the first phase of BuzzCraft could be launched quickly. Operations in low Earth orbit enable both commercial and international partners to engage in a rapidly phased Buzzcraft cislunar architecture. Furthermore\, modules and payloads can be supplied by international partners such as the ESA\, RosCosmos\, CNSA\, JAXA\, and ISRO as well as emerging nations with space faring ambitions. \nBuzzCraft features are outlined\, some future technologies for prime providers suggested and presented in the hope that estimators can provide some insight on comparing reference mission costs & budgets. \nSpeaker: Madhu Thangavelu\nMadhu Thangavelu has a background education in Civil Architecture and Astronautical Engineering. He conducts the ASTE527 graduate Space Exploration Architecture Studio in the Department of Astronautical Engineering within the Viterbi School of Engineering and teaches Space Architecture in the School of Architecture at the University of Southern California. He is the author or coauthor of several publications relating to Space Architecture and human space activities\, including a book – The Moon: Resources\, Future Development and Settlement by publishers including Elsevier\, Routledge\, Springer and Wiley. Madhu is on the faculty of the International Space University\, an international organization that trains space professionals around the globe. Madhu is an active member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and former Vice Chair of Education for the Los Angeles Section of the AIAA. He is on the board of directors of the National Space Society and also the NSS Vice President for India region. Madhu is the North American coordinator of activities for the Moon Village Association based in Vienna\, Austria.\n \nRSVP Online at: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUkduusrzotGd0erHrP758_5GBll9T9N6Kd

SUMMARY:OEM COG: Bridging Generational Gaps
DESCRIPTION:Bridging Generational Gaps\nICEAA’s OEM COG has formed a panel of “first-decade” young estimators to give their opinions\, ideas\, and experiences with two of those table topics: the future of hybrid/remote working and the shortage of skilled professionals\, and how those two topics relate to each other\, especially in terms of encouraging or incentivizing younger professionals. What motivates the younger workforce? What do they think the best ways to overcome communication and training barriers are\, particularly those for whom remote work has been the norm for all or most of their careers? What lessons have they learned from interacting with older professionals\, and what advice can they give us as we too adjust to the new workforce environment? \nPanelists:\nSamantha Bailey\, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company\nSam Bailey is a production operations estimator at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company in Fort Worth\, Texas. She has 10 years of professional work experience in data analysis\, project/subcontract management\, and education\, including 5 years in estimating. She has worked on a variety of F-35 program efforts with estimates involving manufacturing\, tooling\, quality\, and engineering. Some estimating techniques to execute these efforts have comprised cost estimating relationships\, learning curve analysis\, and data modeling. She has also been involved in multiple digital transformation efforts\, involving tools like Alteryx\, Tableau\, Power Queries\, and Access. She has a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics with a minor in English from the University of Texas at Arlington. \nMichael Finnegan\, The Boeing Company\nMichael Finnegan currently works for the Boeing Company in El Segundo\, California. After earning his Masters in Mathematics at Missouri State University\, he joined the Business Skills Rotation Program within the Boeing Company in his hometown of St. Louis\, Missouri. His first rotation was in Labor Estimating & Pricing\, where he also had the opportunity to attend the ICEAA Conference in San Diego. He began to seek out opportunities to further his career in Estimating & Pricing\, which were limited in St. Louis at the time\, so he moved to Philadelphia\, PA\, for his second rotation in Procurement Financial Analysis. After three years in the procurement side of the business\, he attempted a rotation in Integrated Scheduling\, where he lasted a total of 3 months before moving back into a Procurement Finance role. Roughly five years into his career\, he had a midlife crisis due to not wanting to settle down at the old age of 28. His mentor found a role for him within Satellites Estimating & Pricing in El Segundo\, CA\, where he currently works as a parametric cost estimator\, building cost models\, satellite proposals\, and independent cost analyses. In his spare time\, he can be found with one of his run clubs (either running or at the brewery)\, at the bowling alley\, or traveling for a marathon. \nJacqueline Magistro\, BAE Systems\, Inc.\nMy name is Jacqueline and I have many years of finance under my belt. I fell into pricing based on a career change. With the love of numbers\, finance was always a fantastic place\, but can get mundane\, so this led me to pricing\, which never gets boring! The past several years I have had the opportunity to work on the Legacy\, MIDS and NTCDL programs\, as well as\, continuously working all repair bids. I train employees on an application called Golden Eagle and assist when end users have trouble. My training is kept up to date and I enjoy finding new areas to learn. I have attended the peer-to-peer meeting last year and again this year. She also has a mentor to lead her in new areas. I am always looking for new challenges or to try and simplify a process. \nBrady Thompson\, Bechtel Plant Machinery Inc.\nBrady Thompson is an accomplished Senior Data Scientist and Information Architect with extensive experience in data analysis\, machine learning\, and IT architecture modernization.

SUMMARY:SoCal Chapter Webinar - Preparing Data for Cost Estimating: Data Consolidation Techniques in Excel
DESCRIPTION:Michael Finnegan has often found it useful in his career to ask two key questions: “How can I make this easier in Excel?” and “How can I reduce my file size?” Join him on Wednesday\, April 9th for a lunchtime webinar as he walks through some basic (and not-so-basic) Excel capabilities relevant to cost estimating. Michael builds tools for data consolidation\, escalation\, reporting\, learning curves\, pricing\, CER development\, and more– while taking approach that avoids a “black box.” He strives to create (and encourages others to create) Excel tools that everyone can use\, understand\, and replicate. Toward that end\, Michael will demonstrate how he applies INDEX/Match\, SumIfs\, OFFSETs\, Power Query\, and other techniques for consolidating and analyzing data. He will also show various methods he uses to keep his file sizes small enough to operate efficiently while handling large(ish) data sets from various sources.

SUMMARY:WCA Chapter Webinar: Economics of Digital Twins in Aerospace and Defense
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for this month’s Washington Capital Area Chapter (WCAC) International Cost Estimating and Analysis Association (ICEAA) Luncheon:  \nSUBJECT: WCAC ICEAA June Luncheon: “Economics of Digital Twins in Aerospace and Defense” \nPRESENTED BY: Patrick Malone\, Systems Planning & Analysis (SPA) \nTIME: June 30\, 2025 | 12:00 to 1:00pm eastern \nSUMMARY: \nDefense and Aerospace systems engineering is transforming from a document to a digital model framework\, leveraging low-cost multidisciplinary modeling\, analysis and simulation tools. With these methods\, engineers can specify\, analyze\, design and verify systems. Digital Twins enable the approach\, they are digital or virtual replications of physical products and processes allowing increased speed to market and performance evaluation at reduced costs. Not straightforward is return on investment evaluation when generating cost to develop digital twins. This paper looks at development of DT architectures\, capabilities and resulting life cycle cost estimates. Factors impacting DT development costs are model fidelity\, design features\, analytical tools\, integration difficulty\, scalability\, and programming languages. Concepts are grouped providing practitioners tools and methods to apply digital twin concepts to recommended solutions that maintain positive ROIs and identify cost drivers. \nThis briefing was originally presented at the ICEAA Professional Development & Training Workshop. \nSpeaker:\nPatrick Malone\, Systems Planning & Analysis (SPA) \nSpeaker Bio:\nPatrick Malone – Mr. Malone is a Senior Analyst and Project Manager at Systems Planning and Analysis\, Inc. He has over 35 years of analytical and hands-on experience in the aerospace and space industries. Pat currently works at USSF Space Systems Command in advanced programs. He has written numerous papers on technology\, cost estimating and scheduling. He has a BS from Arizona State and an MBA from Pepperdine University. Certifications include ICEAA – CCE/A\, AACEI – EVP\, INCOSE – CSEP and PMI – PMP. \n\nMicrosoft Teams Need help? \nJoin the meeting now \nMeeting ID: 231 179 054 385 5 \nPasscode: pu7mM6Gt
