A Mobile Launch Platform (MLP) is a specialized structure used to transport and launch rockets or spacecraft. It is designed to support the vehicle during the final stages of preparation and can move to different locations, such as launch pads. MLPs are equipped with various systems to provide power, fuel, and communication links to the spacecraft. These platforms are crucial for space missions, as they allow for efficient assembly and servicing of rockets like those used in the NASA Space Shuttle program. By enabling mobility, MLPs enhance flexibility in launch operations and help ensure safety and reliability during liftoff.
