About this document
KSC Transporters: NASA by Bob Andrepont is a document available to read on EtoBox.
KSC uses various transporters to move spacecraft hardware around the launch site. The oldest is the crawler transporter, which carries the mobile launcher platform with Space Shuttle from the VAB to the pad. Solid rocket motor transporters move rocket segments between facilities. The newest is the payload canister transporter, which horizontally or vertically transports unpressurized cargo to the pad. Each transporter was designed for its unique role in supporting launches.
