![]() "Kim Keller" wrote in message om... Each CBC is attached to a square steel rig with four hold-down posts. Heavy uses a three-frame assembly. The frame's east side bolts to the launch table and the booster/frame assembly is rotated to vertical by the fixed pad erector. Then the west side of the frame is bolted down to the table. Oops, got that backwards. West side bolts down, rocket rotates to vertical, east side bolts down. -Kim- |

Both stages received white paint coatings, but no one seems to know if the same coating was used in both cases. -Kim- |
