About this work
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. -- The Space Shuttle Discovery, atop the mobile launcher platform and crawler-transporter, begins the climb up the ramp to Launch Pad 39B. Traveling at 1 mph, the crawler-transporter takes about five hours to cover the journey from the Vehicle Assembly Building to the launch pad. Special levelers on the crawler-transporter keep the Space Shuttle vertical within plus or minus 10 minutes of arc about the dimensions of a basketball.
