GV Floor Plan
This is the tentative floor plan (link to PDF version here).
The payload and aircraft ops require the following staff to be onboard:
1 for SP2-Ozone
1 for PANTHER, UCATS and NWAS (pending verification that team's needs will be addressed properly to allow for only one operator)
2 for QCLS, one of these is also mission scientist
1 for O2, MEDUSA
1 RAF mechanic
1 ADS technician / safety officer
1 RAF project manager
-------------------------------
8 total seats in the back.
There is no compressed gas rack in this payload. We need to assess gas needs, considering we plan to re-supply at least for every 3 flights; re-supply points in Anchorage (US), Christchurch (NZ) and Punta Arenas (Chile).
Also, the MTP computer is slated for the MEDUSA rack. I do not know if MEDUSA will have 1U available in its two-box configuration.
This configuration would require 6 HIMIL inlets. Currently RAF only has 5 HIMILs. Options are , build another HIMIL or move two of the racks closer together to share a HIMIL.
