SSU Launch Complex 39 development

[DaveS]

Here's the latest RSS work. Work has been focused on the completion of the PCR exterior. The first screenshot shows the PCR bi-fold doors closed while the second shows them open revealing the bare inside of the PCR itself. I have also almost completed the new APU/APS levels. The -Y OWP Curtain Wall also sports new and accurate platforms.

Today marked a big milestone in the construction of the Pad A RSS with the completion of structural work on the PCR. All the exterior elements of the PCR are now in place.

After the completion of the PCR structural work, focus was shifted to the upper level catwalks completing the installation of the handrails and the catwalks leading to the -Y OWP Curtain Wall platform.

Nothing new to show today. Just these two images of the RSS PCR bi-fold doors in the open/closed configuration.

Her's the latest screenshot of the new RSS. The upper walkways are now done and work has now focused on the AC ducts. Only few item remains before it is ready.

Focus of the work on the RSS right now has been on completing outfitting of the FRCS Room. Outfitting of the FRCS Room roof is nearly complete. Still some work left on the left ET platform winch. Anyone know where I can get a nice wire rope texture?

I can now happily report that the main walkways including the Side 2 stairs/cage are now 100% complete! Tomorrow's work will see the completion of the new drive trucks after which attention will move to the PCR Side 2 stairs and completion of the AC ducts.
