At NASAs Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Mobile Launcher Platform, or MLP-1, rolled from Launch Pad 39B to the Vehicle Assembly Building on April 13. With MLP-1 now in the VABs High Bay 3, preparations can begin for stacking of NASAs Ares I-X rocket for its flight test this summer.

  • why do they spray water in fornt of the launch platform?

  • pretty impressive. ^_-

  • That make perfect sense, thank! :)

  • If you take a closer look, you see that on the launcher platform there is the equipment for the Space Shuttle and not for Ares 1.

    So the platform come back after the Shuttle launch (without the shuttle, that is on Orbit).

    Back in the VAB the Shuttle equipment will be put to the junk yard and the Ares equipment will be mounted.

  • I wonder why do they move the mobile launcher platform there without any part of the rocket? Should it suppose to hold the entire rocket eventually? Or the rocket will be assembled on it?
