The second half of the B-level work platforms, B north, for NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, is lowered by crane for installation on the north side of High Bay 3 in the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Large Tandemloc bars have been attached to the platform to keep it level during lifting, lowering and installation. In view below are several levels of previously installed platforms. The B platforms are the ninth of 10 levels of work platforms that will surround and provide access to the SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft for Exploration Mission 1. The Ground Systems Development and Operations Program is overseeing upgrades and modifications to VAB High Bay 3, including installation of the new work platforms, to prepare for NASA’s Journey to Mars.
