## 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 (oxygen sensor to be used prior to entry)*
*Respond to contingencies*
***Shock environment monitored***

## Transportation (continued)

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

## 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 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

## Mission Level CDR RFA #26 (4.26)

***Mission Level CDR RFA #26 (4.26)***

***CDR RFA #26:  Are safe/arm plugs required at the launch site?***
***Response:***
***Red tag removal/installation items***
*Ports, plugs, caps, hats, covers*
*Removal/installation to be done as late as practical in launch site flow*
***Safety ***
*RCS Enable Plug ONLY safety critical Item*
*Installation of RCS Enable Plug maintains a minimum of 3 fault tolerance, per EWR 127-1, Range Safety Requirements*
***Current plan to prevent/minimize risk of personnel injury and damage to hardware when in ‘flight configuration’***
*S/C level procs have been modified to remove steps that could potentially damage any hardware or individual. These procs are being reviewed. Subsystem procs to be done*
*Daily meetings will be held to review, coordinate, and be made aware of EO-1 and EO-1/SAC-C/Delta (Boeing) activities*

## 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; this poses minimal impact to EO-1***

## 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, 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***

## Slide 23

## 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)***
***Chiller and Cold Plate: Will be used in Bldg. 1610 and on pad (located on S/C)***
***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:***
***Issued by Boeing in Dec. ***
***Currently being modified for Aug. launch***
***No issues to date***
***Coupled Loads Analysis - completed; all loads within design limits ***
***Dynamic Clearance Analysis - completed; significant margins***
***DPAF Design Certification Review - DPAF Acoustic/Shock test levels do not impact EO-1 Acoustic/Shock environmental tests***
***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)***
***Qual program complete***
