From NASA's website, 9/14/11
Extracted from article, NASA Announces Design for New Deep Space Exploration System
“This specific architecture was selected, largely because it utilizes an evolvable development approach, which allows NASA to address high-cost development activities early on in the program and take advantage of higher buying power before inflation erodes the available funding of a fixed budget. This architecture also enables NASA to leverage existing capabilities and lower development costs by using liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen for both the core and upper stages. Additionally, this architecture provides a modular launch vehicle that can be configured for specific mission needs using a variation of common elements.”
Can you suggest another word that could be used here?
Leverage: to exert power; advantage
