About this work
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- From the NASA Railroad yard at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, the locomotive moves the train carrying the solid rocket booster, or SRB, segments from the STS-126 launch. The segments 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.
