Calisto Launch Services is an independent space corporation and has been contracted to develop and launch one of two different satellites. Initial equipment will cost $790 thousand for the first satellite and $810 thousand for the second. Development will take 5 years at an expected cost of $100 thousand per year for the first satellite; $110 thousand per year for the second. The same launch vehicle can be used for either satellite and will cost $245 thousand at the time of the launch 5 years from now. At the conclusion of the launch, the contracting company will pay Calisto $2.7 million for either satellite.

Calisto is also considering whether they should launch both satellites. Because Calisto would have to upgrade its facilities to handle two concurrent projects, the initial costs would rise by $100 thousand in addition to the first costs of each satellite. Calisto would need to hire additional engineers and workers, raising the yearly costs to a total of $350 thousand. An additional compartment would be added to the launch vehicle at an additional cost of $105 thousand. As an incentive to do both, the contracting company will pay for both launches plus a bonus of $1.2 million. Using a future worth analysis (FW) with a MARR of 5.00 percent/year, what should Calisto Launch Services do?
