Mobile Launcher 2 Project - Jack and Set

Bechtel’s Mobile Launcher 2 project completed the milestone of Jack and Set at Kennedy Space Center on May 9, 2024. To perform Jack and Set, the project team assembled and aligned the 43 primary steel assemblies comprising the mobile launcher base. Four Self-propelled Motor Transporters then raised the base to allow for the temporary mount mechanisms to be removed and eight jacks to be set. The jacks raised the base 18 feet allowing the crawler-transporter crew to drive underneath the mobile launcher base, carry it roughly 200 feet, and then lower the base pins into the permanent mount mechanisms. The Jack and Set process took one week of careful coordination to execute.
