  1. Ground Safety Status AMS-02 Technical Interchange Meeting - JSC - January 2007

  2. Ground Safety Process • Prior to handling hardware or processing at KSC, NASA requires that all hardware and operations be reviewed and approved through the Ground Safety Process • Similar to the Three Phase Flight Safety Process • Must be completed and certified prior to hardware shipment to KSC • Ground Safety Data Package (GSDP) relies heavily on the Flight Safety Package (FSP). • Phase I GSDP submitted Feb 2002 AMS-02 Technical Interchange Meeting - JSC - January 2007

  3. Current Plan for the GSDP • Identify all hazards associated with the Ground Support Equipment (GSE) • Example: Assembly/disassembly of hardware • Operational Hazards • Identify hazards specific to locations the GSE will be used. • Example: Hazard Analyses for the different locations the GSE will be used • Identify Integrated Hazards • Example: GSE fluids become contaminated, thus contaminated fluids enter Flight Hardware AMS-02 Technical Interchange Meeting - JSC - January 2007

  4. Hazard Summary • Examples of some hazards • Failure of Lifting Equipment • Structural Failure • Flammability • Sharp Edges • Touch Temperature • Electrical Shock • Major Hazards to be addressed • Pressure Systems • Asphyxiation • Contamination of Flight fluids by GSE • Bonding/Grounding of hardware while on the pad AMS-02 Technical Interchange Meeting - JSC - January 2007

  5. Information Needed to Complete GSDP • Procedures • Each location and operation • Assembly/Disassembly • Transportation • Testing/Operations • Identify which procedures are deemed hazardous • Most will be, GSE is cryogenic. • Drawings, Schematics and Photographs • Electrical Power Distribution Circuitry (EPDC) • Pressure Systems tables (similar to tables located in AMS-02-F03 and AMS-02-05) • Build Drawings AMS-02 Technical Interchange Meeting - JSC - January 2007

  6. Information Needed to Complete GSDP • List of all safety related anomalies or failures • Damage during shipping • Test failures • Damage during assembly/disassembly • Test TPS • Material Certifications • List of Collaboration Members and planned tasks during GSE Operations • Load ratings, capabilities and safety factor of lifting equipment being used at KSC AMS-02 Technical Interchange Meeting - JSC - January 2007

  7. Status of the GSDP • Phase I completed in 2002 • Phase I/II GSDP NLT Fall 2007 • Hazards identified, Hazard Reports currently being written • Text portion of GSDP currently being updated • Ground Safety Data Package relies heavily on the Flight Safety Package • Phase III ECD Early 2008 AMS-02 Technical Interchange Meeting - JSC - January 2007

  8. Forward Work • Continue working with KSC GSRP. • Identify all documents required • Identify all training/certifications for personnel • Complete the Phase II and III GSRP Reviews • Determining what classes, training and certifications the International Collaboration members are required to have in order to gain access to KSC. • Ex: Hazardous Communication AMS-02 Technical Interchange Meeting - JSC - January 2007

  9. Forward Work • Continue working with the AMS Project • Identifying ALL GSE to be used at KSC • Both AMS and KSC provided hardware • tools, equipment, computers, etc • Identifying procedures to be conducted at KSC • Identifying hazards, controls and verifications for all operations of AMS at KSC • Support GSE Testing • Generate list of Collaboration partners and their Certifications for accessing KSC and operating on the GSE and Flight Hardware AMS-02 Technical Interchange Meeting - JSC - January 2007

  10. Current HRs • Failure of AMS Lifting Equipment • Structural Failure during Ground Ops • Magnetic Field causes injury/damage to vehicle, flight hardware or surrounding structures • Flammability/Toxicity • Sharp Edges • Electrical damage to facilities, orbiter or other equipment • Shock to Ground Personnel • Electrical Short causes fire • Touch Temperature exceedance • Rupture of pressurized components • Failure of Servicing lines • Exposure to high pressure venting gases • Asphyxiation • Ionizing Radiation • Inadvertent tipping of ground hardware • JSC 1230 form AMS-02 Technical Interchange Meeting - JSC - January 2007
