SRM stack a super success

On November 7 and 8, two 116-foot long Solid Rocket Motors (SRMs), each weighing over 100,000 lbs., were securely lifted by crane and stacked in their final vertical position in the new Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center. Their placement is the latest achievement in Go for Stack, the complex, multi-phase process of moving and lifting each of the components into place and reveals the dramatic scale of Endeavour’s upcoming 20-story vertical display in the world’s only authentic, “ready-to-launch” space shuttle system.
