Title: MLP Still at 39B
Post by: gordo on 09/24/2006 07:03 pm
I see MLP2 is still at the pad, CT problems?

Would have thought it would be back to the VAB/Sotrage area for refurb post 115

I've been wondering that too, Gordo.

I've seen one or two cranes out there for short periods, at various times. Maybe they're taking to opportunity to change out a few MLP cables, connections, or electronics, and/or left the MLP at the pad to facilitate checks and testing through the pad connections?

*bump*
Any idea when MLP-2 will moved off 39B to clear it for 116? I saw that a bunch of boards/mats where delivered to 39B earlier today. They do look like the boards/mats that are used to cushsion the ground in the VAB high bays when the Crawler is there, is this correct?

The MLP schedules (so to speak) are in documents on L2...

Got it. So Oct. 17 is the date for the roll-off.

Why is it taking that long to move the MLP?
