A view of the entrance leading into the Rotation, Processing and Surge Facility high bay at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, shows one pathfinder, or test version, of solid rocket booster segments for NASA’s Space Launch System rocket, unpacked on the right, and the second pathfinder booster in its container on the left. The segments were delivered by a locomotive contracted by Goodloe Transportation of Chicago. The Ground Systems Development and Operations Program and industry partners will prepare the booster segments, which are inert, for a series of lifts, moves and stacking operations to prepare for Exploration Mission-1, deep-space missions and the journey to Mars
