Service tower

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

A service tower is a moving tower, usually on rails, which is used to raise or assemble a rocket on its launch pad. After the rocket has been assembled, the tower is driven away to clear space for the launch.

In some cases, the functions of the service tower are combined with those of the supply tower.
