Summary
[edit]DescriptionThe Shuttle Flame Trenches From Above (6940147668).jpg |
You can see where the two solid boosters connect with the round holes in the center, and the square hole on the right captures the thrust from the Shuttle's liquid fuel engines. The pipes pump a prodigious amount of water in for vibration damping during launch. This is Mobile Launch Platform 2, or MLP-2, now in fixed position forming the backbone of the Fixed Service Structure (FSS) of Pad 39A for the Shuttle. It hosted 44 shuttle launches including the maiden voyages of Discovery, Endeavour, and Atlantis and the ill-fated Challenger disaster. The workers here are removing blast shields and elements unique to the Shuttle program. Prior to this use, it was Mobile Launcher 2, or ML-2, and it first served as the launch platform for Apollo 9,12 and 14. For those launches, it was carried to the pad by the world's largest EV with a Saturn V rocket on top |
