STS-135 Astrovan en route to pad 39a for STS-135

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - Mobile Launcher Platform (MLP) number 3 and a set of twin solid rocket boosters, atop the crawler-transporter, inch along the crawlerway in support of the second engineering analysis vibration test on the crawler and MLP. The view reveals the river gravel surface that is 4 inches thick on the straightaway sections and 8 inches thick on curves. The crawler is moving at various speeds up to 1 mph in an effort to achieve vibration data gathering goals as it leaves the VAB, travels toward Launch Pad 39A and then returns. The boosters are braced at the top for stability. The primary purpose of these rollout tests is to gather data to develop future maintenance requirements on the transport equipment and the flight hardware. Various parts of the MLP and crawler transporter have been instrumented with vibration data collection equipment.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Launch Pad 39A is seen in the distance from the tower of NASA's new mobile launcher, or ML, support structure. It took about two years to construct the launcher in the Mobile Launcher Park site, north of the Vehicle Assembly Building, or VAB. The 355-foot-tall structure will support NASA's future human spaceflight program. The base of the launcher is lighter than space shuttle mobile launcher platforms so the crawler-transporter can pick up the heavier load of the tower and a taller rocket. The next step will be to add ground support equipment, such as umbilicals and access arms, for future rocket launches. For information on NASA's future plans, visit www.nasa.gov.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - An aerial view of the Vehicle Assembly Building at KSC shows damage to the roof inflicted by both Hurricane Frances and the category 3 Hurricane Jeanne. The latter storm barreled through Central Florida Sept. 25-26, the fourth hurricane in 6 weeks to batter the state. KSC-04pd1955

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. Изогнутая дорога, ведущая к VAB, ведет к высотной бухте 2, объекту Safe Haven, построенному в 2000 году. Это орбитальный комплекс, причалы № 1 и № 2. Залив OPF 3 еще дальше, ближе к VAB. Дальше на заднем плане - воды Бананового ручья в Национальном заповеднике дикой природы Мертвого острова. Фото: NASA
