Title : In the turn basin near the Vehicle Assembly Building (left) a launch table is docked

Caption :

(10/24/2000) --- In the turn basin near the Vehicle Assembly Building (left) a launch table is docked, waiting for transfer to Launch Complex 37B, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The table was fabricated by Jered Industries in Georgia in support of the Delta Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) program, known as Delta IV. It was floated on a barge down the Intercoastal Waterway, through the Barge Canal to the turn basin. The table is approximately 70 feet long, 40 feet wide and 50 feet high, and weighs about 600,000 pounds. Accompanying the launch table on the barge are flame deflectors, which are also to be erected on pad 37B
