The fit check will confirm the mechanical compatibility of the SpaceX-provided mechanical interface and the Customer Payload interface and, optionally, the mechanical alignment of the umbilical connectors as documented in the Payload-specific ICD. 4.3 ELECTRICAL INTERFACE The Launch Vehicle provides electrical connectivity between the Payload and Customer-provided EGSE prior to Launch. During Launch, the Launch Vehicle provides in-flight separation device initiation and separation. Other Payload commands or interleaved telemetry access is not provided as a standard service. 4.3.1 STANDARD OFFERING INTERFACE The Launch Vehicle provides an electrical bulkhead located next to each mechanical interface where a Payload is mounted. This bulkhead exposes all of the channels that will be used by the Payload for the Mission. The bulkhead consists of several MIL-STD-1560 connectors which will be specified as part of the Payload-specific ICD. The number of channels provided by the Launch Vehicle varies based on the type of channel and mechanical interface. Table 4-1 summarizes the minimum allocation of each channel type.

The number of channels and channel groups listed in Table are the maximum available fora given configuration. Default channel allocations for one contract will be fora single Payload deployment. 2. Additional channels, beyond those needed fora single Payload deployment, of primary deployment, secondary deployment, breakwire signals, and in some cases, up to one (1) additional umbilical group, are available as an optional service as described in Appendix I, within the limitations of Table 4-1 .
