Platform A North Arrival

Blue sky and fluffy clouds serve as the backdrop for the arrival of the second half of the A-level work platforms, A north, for the NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) rocket near the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Workers prepare to offload the platform from a heavy load transport truck from Tillett Heavy Hauling in Titusville, Florida, to a staging area near the VAB. This is the final platform delivered to Kennedy. The A-level platforms are the topmost platforms for High Bay 3 in the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB). The Ground Systems Development and Operations Program is overseeing upgrades and modifications to High Bay 3 to support processing of the SLS and Orion spacecraft. A total of 10 levels of new platforms, 20 platform halves altogether, will surround the SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft and provide access for testing and processing.
