These levels are applicable to future contracts from Cape Canaveral (LC-39A). Predicted acoustic levels for a specific mission will depend on the payload’s size and volume with smaller payloads generally having lower acoustic levels. Margin for qualification testing or for payloads larger than 60% volume fill is not included in the curves below. © Space Exploration Technologies Corp. All rights reserved. 22
