KHB 1700.7C, SPACE SHUTTLE - PAYLOAD GROUND SAFETY HANDBOOK (10 AUG 1999)

KHB 1700.7C, SPACE SHUTTLE - PAYLOAD GROUND SAFETY HANDBOOK (10 AUG 1999)., The purpose of this Handbook is to present the SSP payload ground safety policy and the criteria applicable to payload/GSE design and to ground processing from arrival to liftoff and during postlanding activities to qualify SSP payloads and associated GSE for safety certification by the payload organization to the Launch Site Safety Office (LSSO). It establishes SSP payload ground safety requirements by providing a single, common interpretation of Eastern and Western Range (EWR) 127-1, "Range Safety Requirements," for the 45th Space Wing (45 SW) and Kennedy Space Center (KSC) safety policies and requirements. This allows reciprocal operations at the Eastern Range (ER) after jointly acceptable safety certification is achieved. ER consists of the SSP and the payload processing facilities at KSC and Cape Canaveral Air Station (CCAS).
