EM-2 ML Modification Overview

EM-2 Block 1B Vehicle Configuration

ML GSE Modifications Required to Support EM-2/EUS Configuration

• Significant modifications required to GSE systems on the ML to support EM-2/EUS configuration

– Umbilical System impacts

Shifting of CAA and OSMU higher

• Requires shifting of 18+ fluid and EGSE GSE end items to new levels

• Requires significant demo and tower modifications to support the moves

• Large number of cable and piping/tubing to require removal and re-routing

Major Re-design of VSS required and 20+ supporting fluids and EGSE systems

2 new umbilicals and approx. 30 fluid and EGSE systems that support these systems, 100+new cables and large amount of piping/tubing

Demo and removal of ISCPU

• 20 GSE fluids and EGSE end items will require remove along with large number of cables and tubing

– GSE System impacts

All systems above the 220 ft level will require significant installation redesign

EGSE modifications

Pneumatic system mods and additions

ML has run out of real estate in the base on the tower for new GSE

Moving GSE will drive significant structural changes not accounted for in the study

100s of long run and short run cables impacted

GSELH2/LO2 will require major redesign to support EUS

• New LH2/LO2 skids, VJ piping, support EGSE end items

– Facility System impacts

Major redesign of AC power, lighting, elevator, fire alarm, fire protections, potable/septic water and KCCS

New electrical room required on the 325 ft level

Significant cable plant demo and rework required

• Bottom Line-ML modifications are significant and pose a significant challenge to meet EM-2 schedules

• Approx. 19 month window between EM-1 (H/W availability) and EM-2 need date for ML

Overview of ML Structural Reinforcement Study March 2015

Overview of ML Structural Reinforcement Study March 2015

A&E study completed in 2015 to determine structural feasibility of ML modifications to support 1B

ML reinforcement structurally is feasible, but implementation will be problematic

Adds approx. 530,000 lbs of steel to ML

Tower Impacts

• 8 levels will require diagonal modifications

• 10 levels will require column modifications

• 2 levels will require significant rework to add electrical rooms

• Crew level will need to relocated

• Umbilical Arm mounting will require major structural mods

ML Base Impacts

• Significant Girder reinforcement required

• Truss reinforcement

• Significant demo required to complete
