CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, this aerial view of the mobile launcher park site area shows a new mobile launcher, or ML, for the Constellation Program under construction. In the background at left is Launch Complex 41 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station from which Atlas V rockets are launched. When completed, the tower will be approximately 345 feet tall and have multiple platforms for personnel access. Its base is being made lighter than space shuttle mobile launcher platforms so the crawler-transporter can pick up the heavier load of the tower and a taller rocket.
