CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Modifications continue on the Mobile Launcher, or ML, at the Mobile Launcher Park Site at NASAs Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Construction workers use an automated cutting tool to precisely trim a small section from one of the steel walls for the exterior of the ML.In 2013, the agency awarded a contract to J.P. Donovan Construction Inc. of Rockledge, Fla., to modify the ML, which is one of the key elements of ground support equipment that is being upgraded by the Ground Systems Development and Operations Program office at Kennedy. The ML will carry the SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft to Launch Pad 39B for its first mission, Exploration Mission 1, in 2017.

Construction workers sign the final bricks after they were installed on the north side of the flame trench at Launch Complex 39B at NASAs Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The walls of the flame trench are being upgraded to withstand the intense heat and fire at launch of NASA's Space Launch System rocket with Orion atop. About 96,000 heat-resistant bricks, in three different sizes, were secured to the walls using bonding mortar in combination with adhesive anchors. The Ground Systems Development and Operations Program is overseeing upgrades and modifications to Pad 39B to support the launch of the SLS and Orion spacecraft for Exploration Mission-1 and NASAs journey to Mars.

A construction crew working for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District excavates manholes and trenches for electric lines that will provide power to a new navigation chamber at the Montgomery Locks and Dam in Monaca, Pennsylvania, Jan. 23, 2024.The excavation is part of the Upper Ohio Navigation Project, a multi-billion-dollar investment to replace locks at Emsworth, Dashields and Montgomery locks and dams. The project will replace the auxiliary chambers, measuring 56 feet wide by 360 feet long, with locks measuring 110 feet wide by 600 feet long.The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provided $857.7 million in funds for construction at the Montgomery facility, expected to support more than 15,000 jobs nationally through the construction period.Transporting commodities on the waterways is four times less expensive than by trucks and 33 percent cheaper than by rail. Between 15 and 20 million tons of cargo travels on the upper Ohio River each year, which includes mainly coal but

The Pegasus Barge made its first delivery to Kennedy in support of the agency's Artemis missions. The upgraded 310-foot-long barge arrived Sept. 27, 2019, ferrying the SLS core stage pathfinder, a full-scale mock-up of the rocket's core stage. It will be used by Exploration Ground Systems and its contractor, Jacobs, to practice offloading, moving and stacking maneuvers, using important ground support equipment to train employees and certify all the equipment works properly. The pathfinder will stay at Kennedy for approximately one month before trekking back to NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility in Louisiana.

Not all heroes wear capes, but all Pittsburgh District heroes wear lifejackets. Alan Nogy is the lockmaster at Charleroi Locks and Dam, operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District, located on the Monongahela River in Belle Vernon, Pennsylvania. Nogy has been working for the district for 25 years and served as a lockmaster since 2018. His favorite part of the job is working with his team every day. Currently Charleroi is undergoing major construction to build a new lock chamber, 84 feet wide by 720 feet long. Nogy reminds his team to treat the existing land chamber as one of their own children. Without an auxiliary chamber in place, the navigation team keeps industry moving through their lock while construction continues on the new chamber. Outside of scheduled maintenance closures, Nogy's team has kept the landside chamber operational without any unexpected delays or shutdowns since 2004.
