9.JPG

A unique view of the Mobile Launcher Platform (MLP) Hold Down Posts. The entire weight of the Shuttle stack sits on these eight posts (four per Solid Rocket Booster (SRB)). Note the two front Hold Down Posts show much more thermal damage since they see the full brunt of the motor's 5,000 deg F plume during launch.
