CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – In front of the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a technician uses a forklift to move a fuel tank after it was removed from crawler-transporter 1 CT-1 in high bay 3. The fuel tank will be transporter to the Wiltech facility at Kennedy for cleaning and inspection. Work continues in high bay 3 to upgrade CT-1 as part of its general maintenance. CT-1 could be available to carry commercial launch vehicles to the launch pad. The crawler-transporters were used to carry the mobile launcher platform and space shuttle to Launch Complex 39 for space shuttle launches for 30 years. Photo credit: NASA_Jim Grossman
