Ground infrastructure & launch tower showoff thread

[MedwedianPresident]

This thread is the place where you can show off ground infrastructure.

Ground infrastructure includes anything that stays on the ground after launch and is used primarily in launch preparations for rockets, including:

- launch towers (Be creative! How about elevators for the crew?)

- rocket transportation vehicles (trains, mobile launch/landing pads, planes to carry space shuttles to the spaceport, etc...)

- rocket assembly equipment (cranes)

- service vehicles (crew transport buses, fuel trucks/planes)

- whole buildings (How about a functional VAB where you realistically assemble a rocket?)

Feel free to post lots of pictures and technical descriptions; show your infrastructure in action and describe the purposes and functions of the components!

Have fun!

 

I will post my own stuff soon.

Ground vehicles for KSC  is a niche market I think but there are some truly spectacular one's around.

Here is some of mine, old design but still in use, SSTO ground crew;

We have the MAT adaptor/transporter, crew stairs, fuel truck and cargo crane.
