The SRB DF is stationed at CCAFS Hanger AF
The Recovery ships deliver the SRBs to the DF slip
One SRB at a time is inserted into the slip
A huge rolling crane lifts the SRBs out of the slip
Manatees enjoy the slip in between flights
The crane lowers the SRBs onto rail dolly trains
Lisa and Jon check out the huge SRB crane
The SRB parachutes are rolled up on spools at sea
Empty rail dollies rest beyond the first wash facility
Looking back toward the first SRB Wash Facility
