How big is the NASA crawler-transporter
The overall size of CT-2 is 131 feet long and 114 feet wide. The crawler's speed while carrying a launch vehicle and spacecraft is limited by analysis that de- termines what rate provides the smoothest ride. The crawler was designed to travel two miles per hour unloaded but has not been tested to speed.

$14 million
The Crawler is so huge you could fit an entire baseball infield on its back. And there's not just one Crawler-transporter – NASA built two of them all the way back in 1965 at a cost of $14 million. Adjusted for inflation, that's about $130 million in 2022 money.
How big is a NASA rocket ship

What is the largest crawler-transporter
The next time it carries the mobile launcher and Artemis Moon rocket to and from the launch pad, the behemoth Crawler Transporter 2 will sport a Guinness World Records certificate officially designating it as “the heaviest self-powered vehicle.” At approximately 6.65 million pounds, the crawler's weight is equivalent …
How slow is the crawler
The crawler is the size of a baseball infield. The crawler's top speed is one mile per hour loaded and two miles per hour unloaded.
How heavy is a spacewalk suit
approximately 280 pounds
A spacesuit weighs approximately 280 pounds on the ground – without the astronaut in it. In the microgravity environment of space, a spacesuit weighs nothing. Putting on a spacesuit takes 45 minutes, including the time it takes to put on the special undergarments that help keep astronauts cool.
Who drives the NASA crawler
Ask Breanne Rohloff — she's an engineer for NASA contractor Jacobs, who moves rockets around at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. Her machine is a 6.5 million pound beast called a crawler transporter.
How fast is the NASA crawler
The crawler is the size of a baseball infield. The crawler's top speed is one mile per hour loaded and two miles per hour unloaded.
What engine is in the NASA crawler
Alco diesel engines
NASA's massive Crawler-Transporter II relies on two 16-cylinder Alco diesel engines to run two 1000 kW DC generators that in turn power 16 motors to move four sets of tracks that weigh a total of four million pounds.
How big is spacex biggest ship
At 120 metres (394 feet) in height and with a liftoff mass of 5,000 metric tons (11,000,000 pounds), Starship is the largest and most powerful rocket ever flown, surpassing the thrust of NASA's Space Launch System and Saturn V, as well as the Soviet N1, which had previously held the record.
How fast is a NASA ship
The space shuttle gains more altitude above Earth and the speed increases to the nearly 7,850 m/s (17,500 mph) required to achieve orbit. The main engines are commanded by the onboard computer to reduce power, ensuring that acceleration of the space shuttle does not exceed 29.4 m/s2 (3 g).

How fast is the crawler
The crawler's top speed is one mile per hour loaded and two miles per hour unloaded. To date, CT-2 has trav- eled 2,335 miles.
How much fuel does NASA crawler use
The crawler has two 2,500-gallon diesel fuel tanks filled up before any trip. The fuel powers two 16-cylinder Alco engines and two 16-cylinder Cummins Power engines. The crawler's mpg is more easily measured in fpg: 32 feet per gallon, which equates to about 165 gallons per mile.
How fast is the Artemis 1 crawler
Mission duration: 25 days, 10 hours, 53 minutes. Total distance traveled: 1.4 miIlion miles. Re-entry speed: 24,581 mph (Mach 32)
Are space suits tight
The first piece of a spacesuit that astronauts put on is a special cooling garment made of a stretchy spandex material and water tubes. About 300 feet of tubes are woven into this tight-fitting piece of clothing that covers the entire body except for the head, hands and feet.
Are space suits comfortable
No one ever donned a space suit because it was comfy. Quite the opposite–space suits can be terribly uncomfortable because of the layers and layers of material and technological systems that protect astronauts from the cold vacuum of space and the pressure of ascent and descent through the atmosphere.

Is Starship bigger than the ISS
The Super Heavy booster clocks in at 226 feet (69 meters) — the same as a tower of about 23 African elephants. Combined with Starship, it has a liftoff mass of 11 million pounds — about 5,000 metric tons. For comparison, the International Space Station has a mass of just under 1 million pounds.
How much does a NASA ship cost
How much does the Space Shuttle cost A. The Space Shuttle Endeavour, the orbiter built to replace the Space Shuttle Challenger, cost approximately $1.7 billion.
Can a crane lift 600 tons
The Kobelco SL6000 is a crawler crane with a maximum lifting capacity of 544 metric tons (600 U.S. tons), a maximum crane boom length of 125m (413 ft.), and a maximum luffing jib combination that is: 84m (276 ft.) + 84m (276 ft.). It has 3 different operating modes, standard, heavy lift and super heavy lift.
What is the world’s largest crawler crane
The XGC88000 crawler crane became the largest tracked mobile crane in the world, beating out the previous record holder, the Liebherr LR 13000 when it officially came in production in 2013. However, when it comes to absolute size, movability and strength, the title still goes to the Honghai Crane which runs on rails.
Is Artemis 1 the biggest rocket
With 8.8 million pounds of thrust, the SLS is 15 percent more powerful than the Saturn V, meaning the SLS now holds the record for the most powerful rocket ever successfully launched. Its thrust is equivalent to nearly all the train engines in the U.S. running at once — some 25,000 of them — according to NASA.
