| 7.5.5 RECYCLE AND SCRUB Launch Vehicle systems and operations have been designed to enable recycle operations when appropriate. Although every recycle event and launch window requirement is unique, the Launch Vehicle offers the general capability to perform multiple recycles within a given launch window, eliminating unnecessary launch delays. In the event of a launch scrub, the TE and Launch Vehicle will stay vertical. However, for any long-duration Launch postponements, SpaceX will return the Launch Vehicle on the TE to the hangar. 7.6 FLIGHT OPERATIONS A summary of Launch Vehicle flight operations including Liftoff, Ascent, and Payload Separation can be found in SpaceX Falcon User’s Guide, latest revision, available on www.spacex.com/vehicles/falcon-9/ . SpaceX will provide a quick-look orbit injection report to the Customer shortly after Payload separation, including a best-estimate Payload separation state vector as described in Appendix E. Customer is responsible for tracking and contacting the Payload after separation from the Launch Vehicle. RIDESHARE PAYLOAD USER’S GUIDE © Space Exploration Technologies Corp. All rights reserved. No US. Export Controlled Data. 49 8 SAFETY 8.1 SAFETY REQUIREMENTS Customers are required to meet AFSPCMAN 91-710 Range User's Manual in the design and operation of their flight and ground systems. These requirements encompass mechanical design, electrical design, fluid and pressurant systems, lifting and handling systems, ordnance and RF systems, GSE, and other design and operational features. SpaceX will serve as the safety liaison between the Customer and the range and will provide templates for document compliance. 8.2 HAZARDOUS SYSTEMS AND OPERATIONS Most ranges consider hazardous systems and operations to include ordnance operations, pressurized systems that operate below a to safety factor, lifting operations, operations or systems that include toxic or hazardous materials, high-power RF systems and laser systems, batteries, and a variety of other systems and operations. The details of the system design and its operation will determine whether the system or related operations are considered hazardous. Typically, additional precautions are required for operating systems that are considered hazardous, such as redundant valving between pressurant and propellant. Additional precautions will be determined during the safety approval process with SpaceX and the Launch Range. All hazardous operations require procedures that are approved by both SpaceX and the Launch Range prior to execution. Ordnance operations, in particular, require coordination to provide reduced RF environments, cleared areas, safety support and other requirements. Download 2.78 Mb. Share with your friends:
