We are proud of our specialized Metrology Team for achieving this significant milestone in landing the Metrology services for this project. Our team includes Jeremy Jones, DJ Irvin, Levi Mattingly, Dalton Proctor, Jonathon Campbell, Gavin Irwin, Nathaniel Harris, Armando Cruz, Scott Dodd, Marvin Cooper, Tifarah Layton and Grant Abell.
Client: Bechtel National is designing, building, testing, and commissioning Mobile Launcher 2, a new ground structure supporting the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
The metrology fieldwork portion of this massive Federal Contract began in February 2023. Since then, the CPC Metrology Crew has measured components on the ML2 Platform in as-built condition and monitored them during installation. Our market-leading Laser Tracker provides a competitive advantage, allowing us to measure long distances without physical contact, unlike other Laser Tracker systems.
Mobile Launcher 2 will change the landscape at Kennedy Space Center. The new launcher will grow to over 390 feet tall and withstand a launch environment greater than 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit, blast pressures of more than 130 psi, and thrust of more than 8.9 million pounds.
In the months ahead, additional steel trusses and girders from our team of suppliers around the country will arrive at Kennedy Space Center, be prepared through a specialized blasting and coating process, and eventually assembled at the park site.
