LUT Image Gallery #2

LUT Image Galley #2

The following photographs are from a collection of "LC-39 Site Activation Reports" which detail the fitting out of the Mobile Launchers. Many of these photos were taken before and during the Facilities Integration Vehicle's (500F) stacking operations. Here I have the images concerning the ML's Launch Umbilical Tower, Service Arms and a few of the Mobile Launcher Platform deck. Far from being images of only the service arms, they show good views of the tower and it's complexity.
