CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Crawler-transporter 2, or CT-2, travels along the crawlerway toward the Vehicle Assembly Building, or VAB, at NASAs Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The VAB is partially hidden by fog. The Ground Systems Development and Operations Program completed a roller bearing assembly test on CT-2 truck sections A and C. The left- and right-hand steering was tested in both directions. The temperature of the roller assemblies was monitored and recorded. Engineers and technicians performed visual inspections of the roller bearing pumps, valves and lines to ensure that the grease injectors worked properly and provided the required flow of grease to the new roller assemblies. Work continues in high bay 2 to upgrade CT-2. The modifications are designed to ensure CT-2s ability to transport launch vehicles currently in development, such as the agencys Space Launch System, to the launch pad.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Near the Vehicle Assembly Building, or VAB, at NASAs Kennedy Space Center in Florida, an old roller shaft bearing that was removed from crawler-transporter 2, or CT-2, is being discarded. Inside the VAB, new roller shaft bearings will be installed on CT-2. Work continues in high bay 2 to upgrade CT-2. The modifications are designed to ensure CT-2s ability to transport launch vehicles currently in development, such as the agencys Space Launch System, to the launch pad. The Ground Systems Development and Operations Program office at Kennedy is overseeing the upgrades. For more than 45 years the crawler-transporters were used to transport the mobile launcher platform and the Apollo-Saturn V rockets and, later, space shuttles to Launch Pads 39A and B.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - Workers accompany the Crawler Transporter that will move Space Shuttle Discovery to the launch pad for Return to Flight as it demonstrates its readiness for weight bearing by carrying an unloaded 8,230,000-pound Mobile Launch Platform along the crawlerway. Its first road test on Jan. 21, following the replacement of all its shoes, was a success. Cracks appeared in the crawlers' shoes in recent years, spurring a need for replacement. The new manufacturer, in Duluth, Minn., has improved the design for a safe Return to Flight and use through the balance of the Space Shuttle Program. Each crawler has 456 shoes, 57 per belt (8 belts in all). Each shoe weighs 2,200 pounds.
