Scope: This document provides general format for spacecraft and launch vehicle Combined Operation Plan (COP). This document provides a general format for a spacecraft and launch vehicle Combined Operation Plan (COP). The COP defines requirements, procedures and the schedule for SC/LV-integrating operations conducted at a launch site by both the Spacecraft (SC) and the Launch Vehicle (LV) organization. The COP is applicable to the following operations that start from the mating of the SC and Payload Adapter (PLA) to launch (L-0): (1) SC/PLA mating(s); (2) Fairing-encapsulation; (3) SC/PLA(s) and fairing mating to core vehicle; (4) Operations at VAB (*1); (5) Launch preparation up to lift-off. (*1) The following two facilities are assumed for spacecraft processing at the launch site: i) Spacecraft processing facility: A facility where the SC’s stand-alone operation (final assembly, propellant loading), SC/PLA mating(s) and fairing-encapsulation are conducted. ii) Vehicle Assembly Building: A facility where the SC/PLA(s) and fairing are mated to the core vehicle (i.e. upper stage of LV).
