While these are more snapshot-ish than set photos, I thought you all would be interested in the lot. Over the weekend we got to ship out NASA's express logistics carrier heading for Florida. The ELC will be the primary payload on STS-129 scheduled for launch in November of this year. The ELC on the trailer was 218 inches wide while the door on the C-17 is 220 inches wide. Sorry about it being under a tarp, but the NASA guys wouldn't let me uncover it for photos. At least you get an idea of the tight fit. Enjoy.

Obviously someone took a tape measure with them for this one...

Thanks for sharing.

as long as they read the tape in inches, not mm's. they have made mistakes like this before
