collectSPACE Evoking Apollo, NASA launch tower enters Vehicle Assembly BuildingIn a scene straight out of NASA's past, a towering gantry was rolled into a large rocket hangar on Saturday (Sep. 8), where it will undergo checks to support the space agency's future. The mobile launcher (ML) that NASA plans to use with its Space Launch System (SLS) rocket still under development entered the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, completing a 9-mile (15-kilometer), week-long test drive to its launch pad and back.
