OmegA Launch System

Northrop Grumman chose JP Donovan to support their Ground Support Facility Development program at Kennedy Space Center. The scope of our services included collaborative feedback and support from the very beginning of the design. Our experience with similar projects provided valuable insight into cost and risk mitigating approaches throughout the various systems involved including: demolition, structural steel, sound suppression water systems, cryogenics, pneumatics, hydraulics, power, signaling, communications, HVAC/ECS, as well as umbilical configurations and installation.

Peripherally, JPD was also contracted to modify the following locations throughout KSC: High Bay 2 of the VAB, Launch Pad 39B, Launch Control Center Firing Room #4, and the Booster Fabrication Facility.

When the contract was terminated due to the Omega program’s exclusion from the National Security Space Launch Services contract, JPD was able to swiftly and accurately support Northrop’s close-out of the project while minimizing cost impacts.
