  1. AMS-02 Ground Handling Equipment (GHE) andAssembly Operations for the GHE Ground Safety Review – Phase II September 8-10, 2008 Phil Mott AMS-02 GSR Phase II

  2. KHB 1700.7C Space Shuttle Payload Ground Safety Handbook SW-E-0002E Ground Support Equipment General Design Requirements NASA-STD 8719.9 formerly NSS/GO-1740.9B Standard for Lifting Devices and Equipment Documents Governing GHE Design AMS-02 GSR Phase II

  3. Primary Support Stand (PSS) • Used for payload integration and shipping • Two configurations: Low & High • Constructed with Aluminum 6061 • Covers are Alumalite (painted aluminum face sheet with plastic corrugate) • Factors of Safety • 2 on yield • 3 on ultimate AMS-02 GSR Phase II

  4. Primary Support Stand (PSS) – Low Configuration • Shipping Configuration • 195” x 125” x 117” high • Top Cover is removed as one piece AMS-02 GSR Phase II

  5. Primary Support Stand (PSS) – High Configuration • Assembly/Integration Configuration • 195” x 125” x 166” high AMS-02 GSR Phase II

  6. Primary Lifting Fixture (PLF) • Used to lift the PSS and AMS-02 • Welded steel A36 structure • WLL: 26,800 lbs • Factors of Safety • 3 on yield • 5 on ultimate • Initial proof load to 2X WLL • Annual load test to 1X WLL AMS-02 GSR Phase II

  7. Multi Purpose Lifting Fixture (MPLF) • Used to lift the Lower USS (LUSS) into place on the Upper USS and to lift the PAS into place for attachment • Welded steel A36 structure • WLL: 7000 lbs • Factors of Safety: • 3 on yield • 5 on ultimate • Initial proof load to 2X WLL • Annual load test to 1X WLL AMS-02 GSR Phase II

  8. Lower USS (LUSS) Shipping Fixture • Used to ship/move/install the Lower USS • Can be moved with forklift or crane/MPLF • Welded steel A36 structure AMS-02 GSR Phase II

  9. Other Hardware • Can be moved with forklift, crane, air pallet, hand carts, or by hand • All lifting hardware will meet NASA-STD 8719.9 AMS-02 GSR Phase II

  10. Assembly Operations AMS-02 GSR Phase II

  11. Arrival at KSC – Unload/Prep in the SSPF Airlock • Crane PSS/Upper USS-02. • Fork/Crane Lower USS-02 • Fork/Crane all other Hardware including CGSE AMS-02 GSR Phase II

  12. Arrival at KSC – Unload/Prep in the SSPF Airlock (cont) AMS-02 GSR Phase II

  13. Move Into SSPF – Footprint 7 • Crane or air pallet PSS/USS-02 • Crane, fork, or air pallet all other hardware AMS-02 GSR Phase II

  14. Unpacking • Remove the upper cover from the PSS using the MPLF or slings • Remove the side panels from the PSS • Remove the cover from the LUSS Shipping Fixture • Set up Cryosystem GSE (CGSE) AMS-02 GSR Phase II

  15. PSS Preparation for AMS-02 Assembly/Integration • Install Upper Columns and Beams on the PSS AMS-02 GSR Phase II

  16. PSS Preparation for AMS-02 Assembly/Integration • Raise the PSS/Upper USS-02 to the high position • Install supports AMS-02 GSR Phase II

  17. Installation of the Lower USS onto the Upper USS • Fork the Lower USS under the Upper USS in the PSS AMS-02 GSR Phase II

  18. Installation of the Lower USS onto the Upper USS (cont) • Lift the Lower USS into position using the MPLF • Position hydraulic jacks under the Lower USS for support and final positioning • Attach Lower USS to Upper USS with pins and bolts AMS-02 GSR Phase II

  19. Installation of the PAS • Weight of PAS = 220 lbs • PAS will be installed using the LUSS, overhead crane, and bottle jacks PAS EBCS AMS-02 GSR Phase II

  20. Installation of the PAS (cont) • Procedure similar to Lower USS installation – Details in work • Place PAS on top of LUSS Shipping Fixture • Place under payload using forklift • Raise and rotate using bottle jacks AMS-02 GSR Phase II

  21. Installation of the Keel • Weight of Keel = 67 lbs • Keel will be a 2 person manual lift and bolts installed by a 3rd person AMS-02 GSR Phase II
