Hallo Freunde,
SpaceX has elected to adopt certain approaches, including propellant loading after astronauts have been secured in the spacecraft and the launch escape system is enabled, because they offer
the potential to improve safety for both astronauts and ground crew. Under SpaceX's operations plan, after astronauts board the spacecraft, the ground crew will close out the vehicle and will leave the launch site. Launch vehicle propellant loading will begin only after the escape system is armed. This approach ensures that astronauts have escape capability during any time propellant is on the launch vehicle, and it does not expose ground crew to unnecessary risk. Notably, the Space Shuttle continued loading liquid hydrogen for three hours ("Space Shuttle Replenish" procedure) after astronauts were aboard; propellant loading on Falcon 9 consumes approximately 30 minutes, reducing the time astronauts are exposed to loading operations.
Habe diesen Absatz aus dem Statement kopiert, und so wie ich das lese will SpaceX die Falcon betanken nachdem die Astronauten an Board sind.
Grüße Carlo
