At NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the crawler-transporter 2, or CT-2, is moved from the Vehicle Assembly Building to the Park Site west of the building. A close-up view reveals new brakes and mufflers have been installed. CT-2 also has a recently-painted white roof deck.

The Ground Systems Development and Operations Program office at Kennedy is overseeing the upgrades to CT-2 so that it can carry NASA’s Space Launch System heavy-lift rocket, which is under design, and new Orion spacecraft to the launch pad. The crawler-transporters were used to carry the mobile launcher platform and space shuttle to Launch Complex 39 for space shuttle launches for 30 years. Photo credit: NASA/Jim Grossmann
