About this work

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- A solid rocket booster, or SRB, segment from the STS-126 launch is being lifted from a transporter to transfer it to a rail car at the NASA Railroad yard at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The segment will be taken to Utah. After a mission, the spent boosters are recovered, cleaned, disassembled, refurbished and reused for another launch. After the segments are hydrolased inside, they are placed on flatbed trucks and transferred to the NASA Railroad yard.
