After a busy couple of weeks with some long days, the contractor finished erecting the launch truss and began launching the truss last Friday. By the end of the day on Saturday, the launch truss had reached the west side receiving tower and was secured in place.

Once final preparations are completed, the main truss will be pulled across to the west side in the coming weeks.
