About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — At the Railroad yard at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, one of the spent segments of a solid rocket booster from the STS-122 mission is lifted off the flatbed truck. The segment will be placed onto a railroad car for transportation 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.
