KSC-STD-Z-0009对KSC-DE-512-SM进行了补充，以确定适用于低温地面系统（GS）的材料、工艺、方法、实践和设计的工程要求。KSC-STD-Z-0009基于阿波罗、航天飞机、星座和空间发射系统项目期间获得的综合设计经验。

KSC-STD-Z-0009 supplements KSC-DE-512-SM to establish engineering requirements for materials, processes, methods, practices, and designs to be applied to cryogenic Ground Systems (GS). KSC-STD-Z-0009 is based on the combined design experience gained during the Apollo, Shuttle, Constellation and Space Launch System programs.
