operations<br />

The ACS and launch platform moor alongside each other at the launch<br />

site. A connecting bridge is extended from the ACS to the launch<br />

platform to allow prelaunch processing personnel access to the launch<br />

platform (see fig. 8-23). Final spacecraft “hands-on” operations, such as<br />

ordnance arming, are accomplished and payload fairing doors are closed<br />

out.<br />
