A graphic rendering of Vehicle Assembly Building High Bay 3 at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, where the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft will be prepared for Exploration Mission 1. The High Bay has 10 levels of evolvable work platforms, each of the platform halves are about 62 feet wide and 38 feet long and weigh between 300,000 and 325,000 pounds. Located on Platform F, the “F-1” multi-level ground support equipment access platform will be used to access the booster forward assemblies and the CS to booster forward attach points.
