Going Up: New Mobile Rocket Launcher

From the creator

At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, construction of the new mobile launcher, or ML, progresses with placement of the launch mount on May 26. The construction is taking place in Launch Complex 39 in the mobile launcher park site north of Kennedy's Vehicle Assembly Building. The new launcher is 355 feet tall and has multiple platforms for personnel access. 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.
