About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — At the Railroad yard at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, a solid rocket booster segment from the STS-122 mission is lowered 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. The individual booster segments are transferred to a railhead located at the railroad yard.
