Description
Welding plays a major role in the design, manufacture, and construction of the ground support equipment at the Kennedy Space Center.
Three applications of welding are described, i.e., an example of the structural welding of a girder in a mobile launcher (presently designated mobile launcher platform), an example of the repair welding of crawler/transporter shoes, and an example of the welding of the liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen storage spheres and vacuum jacketed piping in the propel 1 ants system.
This welding technology was developed during the Apollo and earlier programs. It is now being applied to the Space Shuttle.
