Closeup of NASA’s crawler-transporter 2 (CT-2) at NASA Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. CT-2 took a test drive along the crawlerway recently to determine the structural dynamics and loading environments of the crawler’s recent upgrades. The test was performed to ensure that the crawler is ready to support the first integrated flight of the Orion spacecraft and the SLS rocket. Rumor in the field is that the two Crawler-Transporters, CT-1 and CT-2, are nicknamed by CT engineers as “Franz” and “Hanz”.
