KSC00pp1615

A launch table, fabricated by Jered Industries in Georgia for Boeing, moves away from the turn basin and the barge that brought it to the turn basin in KSC’s Launch Complex 39 Area. In the background is the Vehicle Assembly Building. The table was built in support of the Delta Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) program, known as Delta IV. It was floated on the barge down the Intercoastal Waterway, through the Barge Canal to the turn basin. The table is approximately 70 feet long, 40 feet wide and 50 feet high, and weighs about 600,000 pounds. It is being transferred to Launch Complex 37B, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, the Delta IV launch site. Accompanying the launch table on the barge are flame deflectors, which are also to be erected on pad 37B
