Project Overview:

The ML2 Project is the design and construction of a launch platform for the Natonal Aeronautics and space Administration (NASA).  The purpose of ML2, located at Kennedy Space Center (KSC), is to provide a launh platform for the Space Launch System (SLS), an advanced launch vehicle that will fill Amaerica's need for deep space missions.  ML2 includes many different subsystems that must operate and fit witin the constraints of the structure an provide a phusical interface with KSC launch sites' ground systems.
