U N I V E R S I T Y O F Payload Accommodations MARYLAND 56 ENAE 791 - Launch and Entry Vehicle Design Final Thoughts about Payloads • Payload development details are specific to the launch vehicle • Integration processes are unique to the individual launch site • Every launch is a custom operation • Payload documentation for launch is comparable to complexity of payload itself • But there’s nothing like seeing your payload heading to orbit!!!
