Description of Driving Event:

The launch operations area fuel cell servicing system (FCSS) LH2/GH2 system provides for the loading of LH2/GH2 to the orbiter at pads A and B. The LH2 FCSS low pressure sample panel and the fixed service structure FCSS GN2/GHe service panel are utilized for the helium sweep flow purge to the FCSS hydrogen vent stack. Three critical items are in the GN2/GHE service panel and two are located in the low pressure sample panel. Failure of a critical item will disable the sweep flow purge to the vent stack, which is performed prior to initiating hydrogen steady state venting from the dewar.
