The Rotation, Processing and Surge Facility (RPSF) is a NASA facility located in Kennedy Space Center responsible for the preparation of solid rocket booster segments for transportation to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB).

History

The RPSF was built in 1984 to perform SRB operations that had previously been conducted in high bays 2 and 4 of the VAB at the beginning of the Space Shuttle program. It was used until the Space Shuttle's retirement, and will be used in the future by the Space Launch System^[2] (SLS) and OmegA rockets.
