Transportation

• Transportation Plan (SAI-PLAN-314) - 5/20/99
• Shipping Container
• 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/ GN2 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

4
Transportation (continued)

• GSE
• Shipped 7 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
• Arranging commercial transportation
• Installation of shock/vibration monitoring system
• Final preparation and loading of EGSE racks and
  crates
• NASA/KSC/Vandenburg Launch Site (VLS)
• Unloading support
• Storage of shipping container, crates, etc.
• GSFC responsible for shipping flight battery and
  racks

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

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.

10
GSE Configuration
11
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

12
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

13
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

14
Planning / Procedure Status

• Goal is to utilize IT 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

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, UPSs 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)

17
Fueling - RCS Launch Site Procedure Status

• Two procedures considered hazardous by NASA/KSC
  and Air Force 30SW - Review and Approval Required
• RCS Checkout and Leak Test Procedure SAI-PROC-309
• Hazardous due to pressures involved
• Submitted to Range for comment
• Comments incorporated
• Ready for Final Range Review Approval
• EO-1/SAC-C Propellant Loading Procedure PAC
  IP-0645
• Hazardous due to propellants and pressures
  involved
• Submitted to Range for comment
• Comments incorporated - TIM held to discuss
  details
