KHB 1700.7CSpace Shuttle Payload Ground Safety HandbookSW-E-0002EGround Support Equipment General Design RequirementsNASA-STD 8719.9 formerly NSS/GO-1740.9BStandard for Lifting Devices and Equipment


Primary Support Stand (PSS)Used for payload integration and shippingTwo configurations: Low & HighConstructed with Aluminum 6061Covers are Alumalite (painted aluminum face sheet with plastic corrugate)Factors of Safety2 on yield3 on ultimate


Primary Support Stand (PSS) Low ConfigurationShipping Configuration195 x 125 x 117 highTop Cover is removed as one piece


Primary Support Stand (PSS) High ConfigurationAssembly/Integration Configuration195 x 125 x 166 high


Primary Lifting Fixture (PLF)Used to lift the PSS and AMS-02Welded steel A36 structureWLL: 26,800 lbsFactors of Safety3 on yield5 on ultimateInitial proof load to 2X WLLAnnual load test to 1X WLL


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 attachmentWelded steel A36 structureWLL: 7000 lbsFactors of Safety:3 on yield5 on ultimateInitial proof load to 2X WLLAnnual load test to 1X WLL


Lower USS (LUSS) Shipping FixtureUsed to ship/move/install the Lower USSCan be moved with forklift or crane/MPLFWelded steel A36 structure


Other HardwareCan be moved with forklift, crane, air pallet, hand carts, or by handAll lifting hardware will meet NASA-STD 8719.9

UnpackingRemove the upper cover from the PSS using the MPLF or slingsRemove the side panels from the PSSRemove the cover from the LUSS Shipping FixtureSet up Cryosystem GSE (CGSE)


PSS Preparation for AMS-02 Assembly/IntegrationInstall Upper Columns and Beams on the PSS


PSS Preparation for AMS-02 Assembly/IntegrationRaise the PSS/Upper USS-02 to the high positionInstall supports


Installation of the Lower USS onto the Upper USSFork the Lower USS under the Upper USS in the PSS


Installation of the Lower USS onto the Upper USS (cont)Lift the Lower USS into position using the MPLFPosition hydraulic jacks under the Lower USS for support and final positioningAttach Lower USS to Upper USS with pins and bolts


Installation of the PASWeight of PAS = 220 lbsPAS will be installed using the LUSS, overhead crane, and bottle jacksEBCSPAS


Installation of the PAS (cont)Procedure similar to Lower USS installation Details in workPlace PAS on top of LUSS Shipping FixturePlace under payload using forkliftRaise and rotate using bottle jacks


Installation of the KeelWeight of Keel = 67 lbsKeel will be a 2 person manual lift and bolts installed by a 3rd person
