Final work platform installed in Vehicle Assembly Building for NASA's Space Launch System

High up in the Vehicle Assembly Building, an overhead crane lowers the final work platform, A north, into place for installation in High Bay 3 on Jan. 12, 2017.

At Kennedy Space Center in Florida, NASA’s Exploration Ground Systems engineers completed the installation of 10 levels of work platforms, 20 platforms halves altogether, that will surround NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the Orion spacecraft in the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB).

These dynamic, evolvable platforms allow access during processing for missions, including the first uncrewed flight test of Orion atop the SLS.
