FALCON USER’S GUIDE as part of the second stage. The payload harnesses are routed along the exterior of the second-stage propellant tanks, underneath raceway covers that provide protection during ground and flight operations. At the top of the second-stage the harnesses are routed through the payload attach fitting (Section 5.1.1) and to the spacecraft separation plane. The total cable lengths between the payload racks/EGSE and the spacecraft separation plane are listed in Table 5-2 and shown in Figure 5-2.
