About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — Workers at the Railroad yard at NASA's Kennedy Space Center lift the transportation cover that will be used on solid rocket booster segments being transported to Utah. After a mission, the spent boosters are recovered, cleaned, disassembled, refurbished and reused after each launch. After hydrolasing the interior of each segment, they are placed on flatbed trucks. The individual booster segments are transferred to a railhead located at the railroad yard.
