FALCON USER’S GUIDE Figure 8-4: CCAFS PPF West Bay floor plan Services and equipment provided for satellite processing within the PPF are outlined in Table 8-1. Additional space is provided for customer ground support equipment and operations personnel. A facility HVAC system maintains payload processing facility environments. SpaceX will continuously monitor relative humidity, temperature and cleanliness in the payload processing facility using particle counters. Cleanliness monitoring using witness plates is available as a nonstandard service. After encapsulation and prior to launch vehicle mate, SpaceX will verify purge media source and ducting cleanliness. The customer must supply any necessary cables and converters for its ground support equipment to interface with payload processing facility power. SpaceX can supply alternative power sources as a nonstandard service. The PPF is also designed to accommodate hazardous operations such as hypergolic propellant loading and ordnance installation. Any required fueling operations will be performed by customer personnel with assistance from SpaceX personnel. All personnel must use certified SCAPE suits, pass a physical and attend SCAPE training classes. All spacecraft processing operations within the PPF must be completed by L-10 days to allow for mating to the payload adapter, fairing encapsulation and transportation to the launch vehicle integration hangar in preparation for launch.
