Hazardous Fluids Management, Delivery, and Storage

Sierra Lobo provides expertise in aerospace fluids acquisition and management, particularly in cryogens, gases, hypergols, and hydrocarbons. Sierra Lobo personnel operate and maintain the Government’s largest and most diverse inventory of propellants equipment in support of the NASA, Air Force, Naval Ordnance Testing Unit (NOTU), and commercial customers.

At NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC) and the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS) Sierra Lobo supports five active launch pads and the Defense Energy Support Center (DESC) Defense Fuels Storage Point (DFSP). In addition, cryogenic propellants and related purge gas systems are designed, fabricated, installed, operated, and maintained to support Research and Development test facility operations at NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC), Langley Research Center (LaRC), and Ames Research Center (ARC).

At KSC, Sierra Lobo personnel are responsible for acquisition, storage, and distribution of 28 different fluids (hypergols, cryogens, gases, hydrocarbons) performing 20,000 propellant operations per year at hundreds of user interfaces. We are responsible for 210 mobile equipment items and 64 facility propellant systems.
