Behold: the sights and sounds of Crawler-Transporter 2.

Weighing about 6 million pounds (2.7 million kg), NASA’s Crawler-Transporter 2 will carry the agency’s mobile launcher with the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft – an additional 18 million pounds (8.2 million kg) – from the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) to Launch Pad 39B for the launch of #Artemis I.

Breanne Rohloff is a mechanical engineer and one of nine crawler drivers at NASAKennedy Space Center in Florida. The entire journey down the crawlerway from the VAB to the pad – just over four miles (~6.4 km) – takes a minimum of eight hours. Learning how to drive the crawler-transporter requires specialized training with a second engineer in the cab as well as communication between the driver and other engineers and technicians regarding direction, any necessary adjustments, level readings, and more.
