NASA celebrates crawler-transporters first 50 years with test driveThe Crawlers

For more than 40 years, the twin crawler-transporters at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center have slowly traveled the gravel track between the massive Vehicle Assemb

The crawler-transporters achieved first movement in 1965 and for the past six decades, they have moved rockets from the Vehicle Assembly Building to the launch pad.

In July 1962, NASA approved the crawler transporter concept, and in March 1963, a contract was awarded to Marion Power and Shovel Co. in Marion, Ohio, for the construction of two

They’ve got a singular job, just one thing to do, the Crawler Transporters, Crawler 1, Crawler 2.They carry Space Vehicles to the launch site. These two beh

The NASA crawler-transporters have carried the load of taking rockets and spacecraft to the launchpad for longer than fifty years at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. They are the size of a baseball infield and powered by a

At the end of that 30-year program, Crawler-Transporter 2 was selected to carry the much larger Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and its mobile launcher platform that are

— Before NASA could send astronauts to walk on the Moon, space program engineers needed to learn how to crawl. Forty years ago this month, NASA did just that — as

the Space Shuttles. The transporters grew out of a need to move Project Apollo flight hardware and supporting structures, and later, the various elements supporting space shuttle launches.

NASA currently uses crawler-transporter 2 to transport the Space Launch System with the Orion spacecraft atop it from the Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Pad 39B for the Artemis missions. Early in 2016, NASA finished upgrading

NASA’s two crawler transporters, named simply CT-1 and CT-2, are historic machines for a number of reasons. They’ve carried everything from the first Saturn V rocket

After the Moon landing and Skylab pro-grams ended, the crawlers continued their work, tak-ing space shuttles to their launch pads for 30 years. Able to raise and lower its sides and corners

Few vehicles are as popular as NASA’s Crawler-Transporter 2. But what makes this vehicle special isn’t just it’s appearances in the films Apollo 11, Apollo 13 and

The NASA Crawler-Transporter was built by the Marion Power Shovel Company in the 1960’s as part of the Apollo Moon program. It weighs over 5 million pounds and was and
