The Space Systems Cost Analysis Group (SSCAG) is a non-profit, international association of aerospace organizations representing industry and government.

Membership is open to any industry or government agency that is involved in space systems cost analysis and interested in working toward improving the costing of space systems. Space systems includes hardware or software related to launch systems, spacecraft, payloads, experiments, and space-related ground systems. Industry members may be major primes, subcontractors, vendors, or system engineering/cost analysis firms. Details for joining may be found under the Membership heading, as well as a listing of current organizations and individuals. See Meetings for information on upcoming SSCAG meetings.

SSCAG was established in 1977 by the U.S. Air Force Space & Missile Center (SMC). It is co-sponsored by the Air Force and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Senior cost analysis representatives from those two agencies serve as SSCAG co-chairpersons. A Steering Group provides overall administrative leadership to SSCAG and includes a representative of the European Space Agency.

SSCAG is a working group of space systems organizations whose representatives (1) promote cost analysis research, (2) provide a cooperative forum for government and industry discussions (3) jointly work resolution of common problems, and (4) share ideas, data, and experiences to enhance the cost analysis profession, and (5) produce valuable cost analysis products.
