## Launch Site Processing - Overview

***Flow Similar to Many Previous GSFC Missions***
***Launch Site Activities Plan (SAI-PLAN-337)***
***Major Difference:  1st Use of Boeing Dual Payload Attach Fitting (DPAF)***
***Satellite***
***Post-Ship activities at Astrotech***
***Fueling & DPAF Integration at Astrotech***
***Launch from SLC-2W; Co-manifested w/ SAC-C (Argentina)***
***GSE***
***Initial set up at Astrotech***
***Few items move to 836 and SLC-2W***
***Personnel***
***Primary office space at Astrotech***
***Work at 836/SLC-2W as necessary ***

## EO-1 Launch Site Flow

## EO-1 Launch Site Flow

## EO-1 Launch Site Flow

## Astrotech

***Managed by Astrotech***
***Class 100K Clean Tent***
***Control Room for ASIST Work Stations  and other EGSE***
***Office area for EO-1 personnel  ***
***Storage for shipping container, etc.***

##   GSE Configuration

## Fueling and DPAF Integration

***Managed by Astrotech***
***Class 100K Clean Room***
***All SAC-C post-ship processing performed here***
***Primex to fuel both spacecraft from single set-up***
***DPAF  and Vertical Shipping Container pre-positioned***
***Only necessary personnel will work these activities***
***NASA/KSC/VLS providing man-lift for S/C access once integrated w/ DPAF***

## Space Launch Complex 2 West

***Class 100K Clean Room on Levels 5 & 6***
***Only necessary personnel will work at SLC-2W; offices remain at Astrotech, some EGSE moved to 836, some EGSE moved to SLC-2W***
***All access and activities will be coordinated with Boeing***

## EO-1 Launch Site Communications

***EO-1 Launch Site Communications***

***Comm Requirements Straightforward***
***Comm requirements defined in Launch Site Support Plan ***
***Integrated Operational Requirements Document issued by Boeing; defines requirements to Western Range (WR)***
***Most Comm Links rely on existing, previously used capabilities.  Exceptions:***
***New S-Band Antenna at SLC-2 (installation/testing complete)***
***X-Band Splitter at 836 (checked out; final installation after IMAGE launch)***
***New GPS Antennas at SLC-2 (checked out; final installation after IMAGE launch)***
***Umbilical Rack Reset in Remote Launch Control Center: Boeing provides interface for Swales control box; plan is to install/checkout after S/C arrival at VAFB***
***S-Band and S-Band links between 836 and SLC-2 must be shared by EO-1, SAC-C, and Delta; no unavoidable conflicts expected***

## Planning / Procedure Status

***Planning / Procedure Status***

***Goal is to utilize I&T procedures to the maximum extent possible***
***Fueling Procedure has been trial-run by fueling contractor, Primex***
***Contingency Planning***
***Defueling***
***Launch Scrub***
***Battery Re-conditioning***
***Missile System Pre-launch Safety Package (MSPSP) status***
***Initial package delivered to both 30th Space Wing and NASA***
***Comments received ***
***EO-1 responded to these comments with GSFC Code 302 in the review process***
***Mods need to be submitted to 30th Space Wing for final approval and signature***

## Slide 15

## GSE Status

***GSE Status***

***EO-1 requires relatively little GSE***
***All EGSE remains at Astrotech, except:***
***Umbilical Rack:  Will be moved to SLC-2W EEB***
***Battery Racks:  Will be moved to SLC-2W Level 3***
***Chiller and Cold Plate: Will be moved to SLC-2W on S/C***
***FEDS, S-Band GSE, X-Band GSE, ASIST Work Stations, UPS’s: Will be moved to 836 Lab 1 GSE Area to support pad and launch activities***
***No GSE used by EO-1 at VAFB for first Time by EO-1, except:***
***Battery Cooling Cart:  Being Provided by NASA/KSC (Used by GGS/Polar); GSFC unit too large for use on Mobile Service Tower (MST)***

## Fueling - RCS Launch Site Procedure Status
