KSC-2009-6119 (11/05/2009) --- CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a bevy of cranes obscures the view of the tower on a new mobile launcher, or ML, under construction to support the Constellation Program. 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. Read more...
