Summary

[edit]
Description
English: CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a new mobile launcher, or ML, under construction to support the Constellation Program is surrounded by cranes. The ML's tower will have multiple platforms for personnel access and be approximately 345 feet tall. The launcher is being built at the mobile launcher park site area located north of Kennedy's Vehicle Assembly Building to support the Ares I rocket. The ML will provide a base to launch the Ares I, designed to transport the Orion crew exploration vehicle, its crew and cargo to low Earth orbit. The base is being made lighter than space shuttle mobile launcher platforms so the crawler-transporter can pick up the heavier load of the tower and taller rocket.
