Section 01 · Scope
What the 60-minute review covers.
Four integration pillars examined in every feasibility review. Read this list before opening a file — if your mission falls inside this envelope, the review will return a concrete compatibility answer.
-
01Pillar
Compatibility analysis across heavy-class profiles
We map your payload envelope against our proprietary Falcon-Heavy Compatibility Matrix — 1,240+ verified payload envelopes, the largest in the industry — and return a first-pass fit against four launch providers in the review itself.
-
02Pillar
Fairing allocation and mechanical interface review
Inner volume, dynamic envelope, adapter ring selection, and separation-system fit. Reviewed against current fairing inventory and reservation lead times across our provider network.
-
03Pillar
Regulatory filings and range coordination
FAA/AST licensing posture, export-control classification (ITAR / EAR), debris mitigation, and range-safety coordination through our direct API integrations with FAA/AST and range-safety systems.
-
04Pillar
Ground operations, campaign timeline, and separation posture
Processing facility fit, transport logistics, integrated campaign schedule, and a separation-accuracy outlook against our 98.4% on-spec separation rate (2014–2024). Benchmarked against our 11.3-month 2024 average timeline.
Out of scope for the review:
Launch vehicle selection, pricing, and contract commitments. The feasibility review returns a fit assessment only; campaign scoping follows in a separate proposal.

Pre-Flight Briefing
What to prepare before the call
Sixty minutes is short. The consultations that produce a useful feasibility answer are the ones where the program team arrives with a tight set of inputs — not a full data room. Bring the following and your mission director will be able to give you a first-pass compatibility read, a regulatory path, and a campaign envelope on the call itself.
-
01
Mass, volume, and center-of-gravity envelope
Wet mass including adapter, allowable Cg offset, and stowed dimensions against the heavy-class fairing you are targeting. Preliminary values are acceptable — we work to ±15% in the first pass.
-
02
Orbit and deployment profile
Insertion altitude, inclination tolerance, and any ride-along or separation-sequence constraints. For cislunar or deep-space trajectories, bring the TLI dispersion budget your mission analysis team has already closed.
-
03
Spacecraft-to-launch-vehicle ICD status
Existing ICD, draft, or none at all. If your bus vendor is still finalizing the mechanical and electrical interface, note the version and target sign-off date — it drives critical-path scheduling.
-
04
Regulatory jurisdiction and export posture
Which agency licenses the mission (FAA/AST, host-nation, or a foreign launch jurisdiction), and whether your spacecraft, ground software, or deployable payloads trigger ITAR or EAR review. Our team is cleared to handle both.
-
05
Target launch window and any hard dates
Earliest and latest acceptable launch months, plus any downstream constraint (ground-station handover, constellation phase, planetary window). We will pressure-test the window against the current provider manifests.
-
06
Internal decision authority
Who on your side can approve a statement of work, and at what dollar threshold. The feasibility review is obligation-free, but the path to a campaign contract is faster if we know your procurement gate on day one.

Request a Mission Feasibility Review
Submit the form below and a mission director will respond within five business days to confirm the call and request any missing inputs. Fields marked with an asterisk are required for an initial read.
Common Questions
Common questions from mission planners.
The four questions our mission directors field most often before a feasibility review. If yours is not below, raise it on the call — we will answer in writing afterwards.
Q.01
How quickly will you respond, and how do I know my brief was received?
Every intake is acknowledged within five business days by a named mission director. If your submission involves ITAR- or EAR-controlled technical data, we issue a reciprocal NDA before the brief is opened by engineering staff.
Q.02
Do you fly the rocket, or do you integrate?
We integrate. Falcon Heavy Launch does not own or operate any launch vehicle. We sit between the operator and the launch provider — owning compatibility analysis, regulatory filings, fairing allocation, and ground operations from contract through separation.
Q.03
What does the feasibility review cost?
The 60-minute consultation and the written summary are provided at no charge and carry no obligation. Formal campaign scoping — statement-of-work drafting, provider coordination, regulatory filings — is scoped separately once a mission clears the review.
Q.04
What happens after the review if we want to proceed?
You receive a written summary within two business days of the call. If you elect to proceed, we issue a statement of work against the campaign envelope discussed — typically leading to a kickoff within 11.3 months of contract, against an industry median of 17 months.
