Efforts also included minor preparations in the 48,000 sq. In this area, work stands were removed that previously supported refurbishment of Space Shuttle engines, making way for an additional 30,000 sq. Phase 1 efforts also prepared for commercial operations the attached Low Bay, previously referred to as the Space Shuttle Main Engine Processing Facility. Today, Space Florida released a time-lapse vide of the demolition efforts in the High Bay, available at the following link. Two 30-ton bridge cranes remain in the high bay for future use. of open floor space suitable for class 300K clean room aerospace operations, assembly, or processing. ![]() The remaining High Bay area provides roughly 30,000 sq. Over 98% of the 1,040 tons of steel, aluminum, and other material removed from the facility has been recycled. This initial phase consisted of a detailed design for facility modernization, as well as demolition of obsolete and abandoned Space Shuttle processing infrastructure including removal of the massive orbiter work stands in the High Bay to make room for a flexible and efficient clean-floor layout.Īfter carefully preparing the site and removing specialty equipment for re-use in the facility modernization, the steel work stands were removed over the course of four weeks of demolition. Phase 1 of the project, initiated in August 2012, was executed by BRPH and Hensel Phelps Construction Company under a $4.5 million contract with Space Florida. This project is the result of a first-of-its-kind partnership between NASA-KSC and Space Florida whereby Space Florida has secured full long-term rights to operate, maintain, and improve the C3PF under purely commercial standards and make it available to commercial tenants. (April 11, 2013) – Space Florida has completed Phase 1 of its efforts to transform the former Orbiter Processing Facility 3 (OPF-3) at Kennedy Space Center (KSC) into a modern and commercially friendly aerospace facility, now referred to as the Commercial Crew & Cargo Processing Facility (C3PF). Astronauts Kimbrough and Bowen lubricated the race rings on the ISS port SARJ, mounted a video camera on the ISS Port 1 Truss, installed two Global Position Satellite antennae on the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) Logistics Module, retracted a latch on the JEM and reinstalled the JEM cover.KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL. The fourth spacewalk was conducted on November 24 and lasted 6 hours, 7 minutes. Astronauts Piper and Bowen cleaned and lubricated race rings on the ISS starboard SARJ. The third spacewalk was conducted on November 22 and lasted 6 hours, 57 minutes. Astronauts Piper and Kimbrough moved two carts, lubricated the ISS robotic arm and cleaned and lubricated the starboard SARJ race ring. The second spacewalk was conducted on November 20 and lasted 6 hours, 45 minutes. During this spacewalk, a tool bag was accidentally released into space. Astronauts Piper and Bowen cleaned and lubricated parts of the ISS Solar Alpha Rotary Joint (SARJ). The first spacewalk was conducted on November 18 and lasted 6 hours, 52 minutes. There were four spacewalks during the mission. The chief goal of the mission was to outfit the International Space Station (ISS) for six-person crews. Mission duration was 15 days, 20 hours, 29 minutes, 37 seconds. Two landing opportunities at the Kennedy Space Center were waived due to bad weather.
