| 6.5.2 HARDWARE, PROCESSING AND INTEGRATION • Customer provides the Payload and all Payload-unique GSE required for Customer’s Launch readiness activities at the Launch Site, interfacing to SpaceX hardware at the Launch Site (as defined in the Payload ICD), and ensure that all Payload and Payload-unique GSE meet the appropriate safety requirements, reference Section 8.1. Customer will coordinate activities with SpaceX to create an integrated schedule and procedures where necessary. Beginning upon Payload arrival at the Launch Site and throughout the Launch Campaign, Customer provides to SpaceX once per working day, an updated Payload processing schedule. The schedule should include a three day look-ahead summarizing all items requiring SpaceX support, such as opening processing area doors, SpaceX GSE usage (cranes, forklifts, man lifts, etc, and any other items requiring SpaceX support. Note also, Payload hazardous operations require 72 hours advance notice, with precise activity timing, from SpaceX to the Launch Range safety authorities. Upon request, Customer will provide SpaceX with access to the flight-mating interface fora mating interface to SpaceX-provided Mechanical Interface fit check after Payload arrival at the Launch Site but before flight mating. Customer is responsible for providing all personal protective equipment, such as fall protection harnesses, for Customer and Customer’s Related Third Parties at the Launch Site. Customer and Customer’s Related Third Parties may not borrow personal protective equipment from SpaceX personnel. Customer is responsible for cleaning all Customer-provided equipment and hardware to the appropriate SpaceX-designated contamination-control levels prior to entering SpaceX’s cleanliness-controlled facilities at the Launch Site (e.g. the PPF). Standard cleaning products (e.g. isopropyl alcohol and cleanroom wipes) are provided by SpaceX; however, SpaceX personnel will not clean Customer hardware. The Payload will not have RF transmissions once mated to Launch Vehicle hardware until after Payload separation as defined Section 3.3.7.2. Any Payload RF checkouts required at the PPF must be contained within the processing area referenced in Section 5.3. Timeline for any approved checkouts will be documented in the Launch Campaign Plan. The Payload will have access to the electrical harnesses referenced in Section 4.3 for Payload health checks and battery charging up until Launch Vehicle rollout from the integration hangar to the Launchpad. Additional access to Payload telemetry and battery charging can be procured as an optional service (see Appendix I. Download 2.78 Mb. Share with your friends:
