The mobile launcher is the ground structure that will be used to assemble, process and launch NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft from Launch Pad 39B at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida for missions to deep space destinations, such as the Moon, Mars and beyond. During preparations for launch, the crawler-transporter will pick up and move the mobile launcher into High Bay 3 in the Vehicle Assembly Building. The launcher will be secured atop support posts and the crawler will move out. The Orion spacecraft will be stacked atop the SLS rocket and processed on the mobile launcher... these, along with recovery efforts of Orion after splashdown, make up NASA’s Exploration Ground Systems. Catch the team today as ML move coverage begins at NASAKennedy. Join us 8/29 at 11 a.m. EST on Facebook.com/NASA for a live event with our mobile launcher (ML) expert John Giles and crawler transporter driver Sam Dove who will discuss the ML move. See you there!
