1CO Central Cylinder Delivered Ahead of Schedule 08/15105, Marketing "The lower centralcylinder for the 1CO program, fabricated at SS/T‘s Composite Manufacturing Center located in Building 48, was delivered with zero defects to the Structure Fabrication and Assembly section in Building 8 on August 11, a day ahead of the aggressive schedule created to support this important program. Typically, the central eylinder is completed early in te fabrication of an SS spacecraft, but the completion of the 1CO central eylinder occurred approximately two months after long—lead funding was spproved. which represents significant improvement of spproximately four months compared with previous similar programs. Fabricated as a co—cured compositesandwich structure incorporating lightweight aluminum, honeycomb core ind unidiretional, ltrs—high modulus, graphite fber faceskin materils, the lower central cylinder is the largest composite component required by the main body structure measuring approximately 142" in length and 50 in diameter. "The bus structure is so large that an upper extension eylinder, delivered July 14, will be utlized in conjunction with the lower cylinder to add an additional 38" length (height) to the bus structure. Other composite hardware currently fabricated for the ICO main body stricture includes numerous flat composite panels,struts, and doublers The completion of his important milestone demonstrtesthe Composite Manufacturing Center s commitment to working with Design Engineering in a collaborative relationship to reduce lead times required during program start up
