A heavy-load transport truck carrying the Orion crew access arm nears the mobile launcher (ML) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The crew access arm will be installed at about the 274-foot level on the mobile launcher tower. It will rotate from its retracted position and interface with the Orion crew hatch location to provide entry to the Orion crew module. The Ground Systems Development and Operations Program is overseeing installation of umbilicals and launch accessories on the ML tower to prepare for Exploration Mission-1.
