If a payload is processed at a facility other than the SpaceX-provided payload processing facility, SpaceX can provide environmentally controlled transportation from that facility to the launch vehicle integration hangar. JOINT OPERATIONS AND INTEGRATION Joint operations begin ten days before launch. Payload attachment to the payload attach fitting and fairing encapsulation are performed by SpaceX within the payload processing facility (Figure 8-5). Fairing encapsulation is performed in the vertical orientation. Transportation is performed in the vertical orientation, and environmental control © Space Exploration Technologies Corp.
