KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Solid rocket motor segments and two aft exit cone segments arrive by rail at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. While enroute, solid rocket motor segments were involved in a derailment in Alabama. The rail cars carrying these segments remained upright and were undamaged. An inspection determined these segment cars could continue on to Florida. The segments themselves will undergo further evaluation at Kennedy before they are cleared for flight. Other segments involved in the derailment will be returned to a plant in Utah for further evaluation. Photo credit: NASA/George Shelton KSC-07pd1168
