1. Considerations for a Conceptual Design Review

   The Conceptual Design Review should include:
   
   

   • Compilation of Assumptions
   • List of Conceptual Design Options
   • Description of Trade Studies Used for Selection of Design Option and Alternatives
   • List and Description of Design Methodologies Used for Option Selection

   Compilation of Assumptions:
   A listing of specific qualitative and quantitative information significant to the development of a conceptual cryogenics and consumables station.

   List Conceptual Design Options:
   A list of design options proposed and the factors pertaining to each systems performance levels, expected use profiles, user environment, operational life cycles, effectiveness requirements, level of maintenance and support considerations.

   Description of Trade Studies Used for Selection of Design Option and Alternatives:
   Identify and describe the trade studies used for the selection of the conceptual designs and their alternatives and the unique technology and applications specific to each design.

   List and Description of Design Methodologies Used for Option Selection:
   Identify the design methodologies used to determine the soundness of each feasible conceptual solution relative to the pertinent parameters, both direct and indirect.
