English: The Mobile Launcher Platforms (MLPs) at Kennedy Space Center are three separate two-story or larger structures used by NASA to serve as a launch platform. The three MLPs were constructed for the Apollo program to launch Saturn V rockets in the 1960s and 1970s, and after renovation, had remained in service to launch Space Shuttles till 2011. These platforms are carried between the Vehicle Assembly Building and launch pads by the crawler-transporters.
