The High Cost of Duplicating Post Flight Data Centers

This book was written based on the doctorate dissertation "Examining the Duplication of Flight Test Data Center (c)" of this author which studied the cost of post-flight data system duplication. Studied was why aerospace companies continue to duplicate PFP data centers, comparison to non-aerospace companies, the cost involved in equipment, and multiple relocations affecting FTEs. The research was performed from 2008 to 2011 and is applicable today.
