Boeing, Raytheon Top Off Nation's Newest Launch Tower
CAPE CANAVERAL AIR FORCE STATION, Fla., March 02, 2000 -- Workers from Boeing and Raytheon Engineers and Constructors took another step toward converting a historic Saturn 1 launch pad, at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's Space Launch Complex 37 (SLC-37) today.
The final topping off girder was placed on a 330-foot mobile service tower at the nation's newest launch facility. The launch complex under construction at SLC-37 will support the Boeing Delta IV family of launch vehicles and will provide 360-degree access to the rockets while they are on the pad. Construction of the facility is approximately 60 percent complete.
