The 40th anniversary of the crawler transporter used for moving space shuttles to the NASA Kennedy Space Center’s launch pads

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the crawler transporter used for moving space shuttles to the NASA Kennedy Space Center’s launch pads, invited guests mingle in front of one of the crawlers still in use. From left are Sylvan “Skip” Montagna, Patricia and Fred Renaud, Fred Wallace and Bill Clemens. Philip Koehring and his brothers Doug(white shirt) and John (light blue shirt) and Rick Drollinger are on the right. Philip Koehring Sr. was project manager at the Marion Power Shovel Co. in Ohio where the crawlers were initially built in 1965. Drollinger’s father, Richard, was director of engineering at Marion. Media representatives and invited guests had the opportunity to tour one of NASA's two crawlers. This included the driver cab and engine room. Guests included current drivers and operators, as well as drivers from the Apollo Program. In January 1966, the crawler completed its first successful move with a 10.6-million-pound launch umbilical tower. It moved three-quarters of a mile in about nine hours. Throughout 40 years of service, the two crawlers have moved more than 3,500 miles and carried seven vehicles.
