## Transportation

***Transportation***

***Transportation Plan (SAI-PLAN-314) - 5/20/99***

***Custom Designed for EO-1; Consists of Dolly and Cover***
***Used for Movement from Swales to GSFC; Dolly Used for Intra-Facility Movement in Buildings 7/10/29***
***Shock Isolation System***
***Desiccant, Humidity Indicator, Pressure Relief Breather Valves, Through Fitting for Purging***
***Spacecraft***
***Bagged w/ GN******2****** Purge in Climate-Controlled, Air-Ride Van***
***Swales Mechanical Personnel in Chase Vehicle***
*Planned Stops to Monitor Purge*
*Respond to Contingencies*
***Shock Environment Monitored***

## Transportation (continued)

***Transportation ****(continued)*

***GSE***
***Shipped 3 Days Prior to S/C in Climate-Controlled, Air-Ride Van***
***Responsibilities***
***Swales***
*Planning*
*Loading of S/C into Shipping Container, and onto truck*
*Crating of loose equipment*
***GSFC/Transportation Branch***

*Installation of shock/vibration monitoring system*
*Final preparation and loading of EGSE racks and crates*
***NASA/KSC/Vandenburg Launch Site (VLS)***

*Storage of shipping container, crates, etc.*
***Similar approach used for movement of S/C from Bldg. 836 to Bldg. 1610***
***GSFC responsible for shipping flight battery and racks***

## EO-1 Shipping Container

***EO-1 Shipping Container***

## 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 Checkout in Bldg. 836***
***Fueling & DPAF Integration in Bldg. 1610 or TBD Commercial Facility***
***Launch from SLC-2W; Co-manifested w/ SAC-C (Argentina)***
***GSE***
***Initially set up in 836***
***Few items move to 1610 and SLC-2W***
***Personnel***
***Primary office space in 836***
***Work at 1610/SLC-2W as necessary ***

## EO-1 Launch Site Flow

***EO-1 Launch Site Flow***

## Building 836

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

## Bldg. 836 Lab 1 Clean Tent

## Bldg. 836 Lab 1 GSE Area

## Building 1610

***Managed by NASA/KSC/VLS***
***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 at 1610; offices and most EGSE remains in 836***
***NASA/KSC/VLS providing man-lift for S/C access once integrated w/ DPAF***
***Potential availability issue***

## Space Launch Complex 2 West

***Class 100K Clean Room on Levels 5 & 6***
***Only necessary personnel will work at SLC-2W; offices and most EGSE remains in 836***
***All access and activities will be coordinated w/ Boeing***

## EO-1 Launch Site Communications

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

***Comm Requirements Straightforward***
***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 836 and 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 and SAC-C; 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***
***Missile System Pre-launch Safety Package (MSPSP) delivered to both 30th Space Wing and NASA/KSC/VLS Safety Offices***

## Slide 20

## GSE Status

***GSE Status***

***EO-1 requires relatively little GSE***
***All EGSE remains in Bldg. 836, except:***
***Umbilical Rack:  Will be moved to SLC-2W Electrical Equipment Building (EEB) while S/C being fueled***
***Battery Racks:  Will be used in Bldg. 1610 and on pad (located on Level 3)***
***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)***

## Launch Vehicle Integration

***Launch Vehicle Integration***

***Delta II/EO-1 Mission Specification:***
***To be issued by Boeing by end of Dec; no issues expected***
***Requirements verification needs to be completed by Boeing***
***Coupled Loads Analysis - completed; all loads within design limits ***
***Dynamic Clearance Analysis - completed; significant margins***
***Schedules - Boeing’s Countdown Bar Charts in good shape for this stage of program***

## Launch Vehicle Interfaces

***Payload Attach Fitting (PAF) provided by Boeing***
***Fit check w/ flight PAF successfully completed***
***100 lbs springs instead of standard 200 lbs springs needed due to EO-1 mass and CG off-set***
***T-0 Umbilical Harness***
***Flight harness mated during PAF fit check***
***Flight mate will be be done as part of DPAF integration***
***Dual Payload Attach Fitting (DPAF)***
***First flight***
***Qual program and pathfinder complete***

## Launch Vehicle Interfaces (continued)

***Launch Vehicle Interfaces ****(continued)*

***“******Whiteroom”:  Class 100K, 65-75******o******F, 35-65% R/H***
***Fairing Air:  Class 10K, 55-60******o******F, 35-65% R/H***
***Spacecraft Access***
***MST Level 6 - Adjustable height; must be shared w/ SAC-C on limited occasions***
***Diving boards/platforms provided by Boeing***
***2 24” Fairing Access Doors***
***GN******2****** Purge Line Installation (Fly-away purge)***
***Battery Cooling Duct Installation Removal***
***GSE***
***Battery racks on Level 3***
***Battery cooling cart on Level 6***
***Umbilical Rack in EEB***

## Issues

***Issues***

***Bldg. 1610 may NOT be available due to potential conflicts with IMAGE and NOAA-L***
***IMAGE may not be out of 1610 when SAC-C begins to arrive***
***NOAA-L needs 1610 3/1/00 for 5/9/00 Launch; may slip***
***Held initial discussions with potential commercial facility providers:  Astrotech and SSI (SLC-6)***
*Astrotech accommodates existing plans essentially w/o change*
*SSI requires changes to both equipment and procedures (e.g., fueling equipment and proc, EGSE cable lengths?)*
