magnemoe Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 13 hours ago, CatastrophicFailure said: There was video of the rocket being raised this morning, so this payload was definitely the standard horizontal integration. IIRC SpaceX actually has plans to modify 39A (b?) specifically for vertical integration of future NRO payloads. Ok, perhaps as an part for manned missions too? Manned missions would require an new and stronger launch tower with an elevator so you could use that for fairing integration too. You would need an small crane on top and walkway around the top, winch fairing up, eject the rocket, go up and attach fairing to rocket.

TheEpicSquared Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 (edited) Launch scrubbed. Launch window tomorrow same time. I'll be in school, so I'll have to find a way to get around the teachers.
