Members of the STS-100 crew, dressed in protective clothing, take a look at part of the mission payload, the Canadian robotic arm, SSRMS, from the top of a workstand in the Space Station Processing Facility. From left are Mission Specialists John L. Phillips, Umberto Guidoni and Yuri V. Lonchakov. Guidoni is with the European Space Agency and Lonchakov is with the Russian Space and Aviation Agency. The arm is 57.7 feet (17.6 meters) long when fully extended and has seven motorized joints. It is capable of handling large payloads and assisting with docking the Space Shuttle. The SSRMS is self-relocatable with a Latching End Effector, so it can be attached to complementary ports spread throughout the Station’s exterior surfaces. Mission STS-100 is scheduled to launch on Space Shuttle Endeavour April 19 at 2:41 p.m. EDT from Launch Pad 39A, KSC, with a crew of seven. Other crew members are Commander Kent V. Rominger, Pilot Jeffrey S. Ashby and Mission Specialists Scott E. Parazynski and Chris A. Hadfield, who is with the Canadian Space Agency KSC01pp0754

Summary

The original finding aid described this as:

Description: Photographic documentation of the Shuttle Pointed Autonomous Research Tool for Astronomy 201 (SPARTAN 201) attached to the Space Shuttle Discovery's Remote Manipulator System (RMS) during STS-64. SPARTAN 201 was designed as a free-flying payload that would study the solar wind and the sun's corona. Includes two overexposed views (001-002).

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Technicians in the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, are jacking crawler-transporter 2, or CT-2, four feet off the floor to facilitate removal of the roller bearing assemblies. After inspections, new assemblies will be installed. The Ground Systems Development and Operations Program office at Kennedy is overseeing the upgrades to CT-2 so that it can carry NASA’s Space Launch System heavy-lift rocket and new Orion spacecraft to the launch pad. For more than 45 years the crawler-transporters were used to transport the mobile launcher platform and the Apollo-Saturn V rockets and, later, space shuttles to Launch Pads 39A and B.
