The ability to manufacture<br />
and assemble the spacecraft<br />
on site is one of the most<br />
significant enhancements to<br />
the new facility. Cross-country<br />
shipment of the vehicle is no<br />
longer necessary, resulting<br />
in a significant time and cost<br />
savings for the program.<br />
The Operations & Checkout Facility at Kennedy<br />
Space Center in Florida will employ lean<br />
manufacturing processes to reduce production<br />
time and cost.<br />
The facility’s 90,000-square-feet of air-bearing<br />
floor space enable a small crew to effortlessly<br />
maneuver spacecraft hardware across<br />
the factory.
