[edit] Columbia on Mobile platform

This article is lacking an in-depth picture. Here's one of Columbia. Can someone put it in the article? http://www.vesmirweb.net/galerie/raketoplany/ig05_sts107_launch_02.jpg

Does the crawler-transporter stay at the launch pad during launch? Is it well-protected against the blast of the rockets? If the crawler leaves the mobile launcher platform, how is the platform moved off of the crawler? GBC 00:59, 11 September 2006 (UTC)


How is the shuttle held to the pad? What are those tabs that come up to meet the trailing edge of the orbiter's wings? Clearly this article is in need of an expert. I will give it a stub tag. Harperska 02:49, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
