Description

English: NASA Railroad 3 (right) is ready for the exchange of the Florida East Coast Railway cars carrying the booster segments for the Ares I-X test rocket. The four reusable motor segments and the nozzle exit cone, manufactured by the Ares I first-stage prime contractor Alliant Techsystems Inc., or ATK, departed Utah March 12 on the seven-day, cross-country trip to Florida. The segments will be delivered to the Rotation, Processing and Surge Facility for final processing and integration. The booster used for the Ares I-X launch is being modified by adding new forward structures and a fifth segment simulator. The motor is the final hardware needed for the rocket's upcoming test flight this summer. The stacking operations are scheduled to begin in the Vehicle Assembly Building in April. Also visible are two Florida East Coast passenger cars: the sleeper lounge observation car "Azalea" (silver, 1950 Pullman-Standard 5DBR) and the business coach "St. Augustine" (blue/white, marked as FLNX 3, 1947 Pullman-Standard 16RM-4DB).
