State of the Art Launch Facilities
Saturn Aerospace’s state-of-the-art launch facilities are meticulously designed to support the revolutionary non-rocket Space Launch System (SLS). These facilities ensure efficient preparation, storage, and final launch operations, incorporating advanced technologies and sustainable practices to set new standards in the aerospace industry.
Our launch facilities include large storage and preparation buildings dedicated to the final assembly of rockets and cargo capsules. These buildings can store four sets of rockets at once and are equipped with attached offices for operational management, parts storage areas to ensure all components are readily available, and workshops for assembling and maintaining rockets and sleds. These structures streamline the preparation process, allowing for efficient and timely launches.
We have four specialized buildings for capsule storage and preparation, each designed to ensure payloads’ safe handling and readiness. These buildings feature attached offices for administrative tasks, parts storage for essential components, and workshops for detailed capsule preparation and inspection. By maintaining dedicated spaces for capsule preparation, we enhance the reliability and safety of our launches.
A dedicated building is allocated for storing, maintaining, and preparing rocket sleds. This facility ensures that sleds are always in optimal condition for each launch, contributing to the overall efficiency and safety of the Space Launch System.
Before each launch, payloads undergo rigorous final inspections in two specialized buildings. These facilities have advanced diagnostic tools and safety measures to ensure all systems are fully operational before the sleds enter the vacuum tube. This step is crucial for maintaining the high standards of safety and reliability that Saturn Aerospace is known for.
Our launch facilities include cargo and personal helicopter hangars, facilitating quick and efficient transport of materials and personnel. These hangars support the logistical needs of the launch operations, ensuring smooth coordination and timely execution of all tasks.
We have two specialized fueling buildings to provide the necessary fuel for rockets and other vehicles. These stations are integral to the seamless operation of our launches, ensuring that all components are adequately fueled and ready for deployment.
All our launch facilities are constructed using durable and environmentally friendly materials such as stucco, brick, and concrete. This not only ensures the longevity of the structures but also minimizes the environmental impact of our operations. The design and layout of these facilities are optimized for efficiency, supporting frequent and reliable launches while adhering to strict sustainability standards.
Saturn Aerospace’s launch facilities are a testament to our commitment to innovation, efficiency, and sustainability. By integrating advanced technologies and sustainable practices, we ensure that our Space Launch System operates at the highest performance and safety levels. These state-of-the-art facilities are essential in supporting our mission to revolutionize space travel.
