Mobile Launcher Crew Access Arm Transport from Cocoa FL to KSC
A flatbed truck with the Orion crew access arm secured atop travels along a road in Cocoa, Florida, after departing Precision Fabricating and Cleaning. The access arm will be transported to a storage location at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Later this month, the arm will be transported to the mobile launcher (ML) tower at the center. The crew access arm will be located at about the 274-foot level on the tower. It will rotate from its retracted position and interface with the Orion crew hatch location to provide entry to the Orion crew module. The Ground Systems Development and Operations Program is overseeing installation of umbilicals and launch accessories on the ML tower.
