MLP-1 on Crawler Transporter 2 (CT-2)
NASA’s upgraded crawler-transporter 2 (CT-2) travels slowly along the crawlerway carrying mobile launcher platform 1 at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The crawler's upgrades and modifications were being monitored and tested under loaded conditions during its travel to the Pad A/B split and back to the crawler yard to confirm it is ready to support the load of the mobile launcher carrying the Space Launch System with Orion atop for the first test flight, Exploration Mission 1. A truck sprays water in front of the crawler to control dust as the large vehicle moves along. The Ground Systems Development and Operations Program at Kennedy is managing upgrades to the crawler.
