Description

For Release: May 20, 1969 Photo No.: KSC-69PC-249

"Carrying the Apollo 11 Saturn V space vehicle and mobile launcher, the transporter inches its way to the hardstand atop Launch Complex 39A where it positioned the 12.5 million-pound load on support pedestals. (Unfueled Saturn V weighs 1/2 million pounds.) Rollout began at 12:30 p.m. EDT today, and was completed at 7:46 p.m. The transporter carried the vehicle along the 3.5 mile crawlerway at an average speed less than one mile per hour. The 363-foot-high space vehicle is to launch Apollo 11 Astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr., on the Nations' first manned lunar landing mission."
