The transporter weighing 2.8 million kilograms (6.3 million pounds) was used to lift a 5.7-million-kilogram (12.6-million-pound) combination of mobile launcher and space vehicle, transfer this load approximately 5.6 kilometers (3.5 miles) from its point of assembly, negotiate curves of 152-meter (500-foot) mean radius, climb a 5-percent grade while maintaining the 122-meter (400-foot) structure in a vertical position within 10 minutes of arc, and smoothly position this huge structure to within plus or minus 5.1 centimeters (plus or minus 2 inches) on support pedestals at the launch pad. The crawler-transporter is described in detail.
