<strong>Falcon</strong> 9 User’s <strong>Guide</strong><br />
<strong>Falcon</strong> 9 missions and associated operations have been designed for minimal complexity and<br />
minimal time at the pad. The payload will be integrated horizontally to the launcher<br />
approximately 7 days prior to launch. Once integrated, the vehicle is moved to the pad and is<br />
erected using the <strong>Falcon</strong> 9 <strong>Launch</strong> <strong>Vehicle</strong> erector. Final system close‐out, fueling and testing is<br />
then completed. Twenty four hours prior to launch, the <strong>Launch</strong> Readiness Review (LRR) is held.<br />
Once the launch approval is given, the 24‐hour countdown begins.<br />
