KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- STS-114 (left) Pilot James Kelly and Mission Specialist Andrew Thomas (right) are given a tour of the Crawler-Transporter storage area by NASA Systems Engineer Robert Rokobauer. Behind them is one of the 5.5-million-pound crawlers. The 10-foot-high track, one of two, contains 278 “shoes,” weighing 2,200 pounds each. The crawlers are guided by four trucks, one on each corner. The crawlers had recent modifications to the cab and muffler system. The STS-114 mission is Logistics Flight 1, which is scheduled to deliver supplies and equipment plus the external stowage platform to the International Space Station.
