Current financial valuation techniques fail to capture several important aspects of technical projects, including flexibility and the interface between economics and technology. Additionally, valuations rarely aid in the process of determining which service or product provides value to both the client and the provider. This thesis presents a new valuation framework that accounts for these downfalls by breaking the valuation analysis into two distinct parts: the client’s value and the provider’s value. The client value analysis is a necessary step in determining the provider’s value, as it provides the basis for the revenue the provider will generate as well as an idea of which type of service or product provides the most value to the client. As a viable market does not exist without both a client and a provider, it is necessary to look at a project from both perspectives. The valuation framework is used to analyze the commercial geosynchronous (GEO) satellite servicing market. Several approaches of servicing are examined and compared to current satellites and electric propulsion, which are considered the most probable competition for servicing. The analysis indicates that two primary types of satellite servicing provide value to both the client and provider using direct GEO insertion and either a tug spacecraft to perform the client’s North-South stationkeeping maneuvers or a refueling vehicle enable the spacecraft to perform its own stationkeeping maneuvers.
