National Space Society | SLS MLP Rollout to LC-39B [4K] @NationalSpaceSociety | Uploaded December 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
On 10/20/20 NSS was invited out to Kennedy Space Center to witness NASA Crawler Transporter 2 rolling out the Space Launch System Mobile Launcher Platform to LC-39B. This is the last time the structure will be at the launch pad without the SLS rocket on top of it. During its stay at the pad it will be cleaned to remove any Foreign Object Debris (FOD) and will undergo a pre-launch routine where the Core Stage Engine Service Platforms are removed and the SRB flame deflectors are moved into place. This represents a key step in the Artemis program as the stacking operations for Artemis I will commence soon after the MLP returns to the Vehicle Assembly Building, pending the completion of the Green Run Test.
