waht said:How come people working around shuttle don't wear hard hats? Is that hangar really that safe?
out of whack said:Yeah, it's an unusual sight. I would guess that nothing falls in that place, as in "NOTHING falls". Every nut and bolt must be secured and accounted for, unlike your typical building site. At some point, not even a hair falls as all workers wear clean room attire.
Shuttle processing is the series of steps and procedures that are carried out to prepare a space shuttle for launch. This includes everything from assembling the shuttle components to testing and fueling the shuttle.
The time required for shuttle processing varies depending on the specific mission and any unforeseen issues that may arise. On average, it takes around 3 months to process a shuttle for launch.
During shuttle processing, various tasks are completed including the installation of payloads, testing of systems and components, and loading of fuel and supplies. The shuttle is also inspected and prepared for launch during this time.
Shuttle processing is a joint effort between NASA and the contractor responsible for building and maintaining the shuttle. NASA oversees the overall process and the contractor carries out the necessary tasks.
Safety is a top priority during shuttle processing. Some important precautions include wearing appropriate personal protective equipment, following strict protocols for handling hazardous materials, and conducting thorough inspections and tests before launch.
