An excellent article--thanks for putting it together. The last drawing/graphic implies the Pegasus barge is large enough to handle the 1B variant--will this in fact be the case?
Is the barge crewed while in tow? If so how many. And is there generators/compressors other gse on board?
It’s a great story Chris. I really like the sizing descriptions for the barge and the amount of work that went into the modifications to enable it to carry the SLS core to MAF and then to KSC. That kind of information is usually not provided to the general readers and is normally only found on sites like this one. Great write-up. I read it eagerly. Thanks
