CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - This closeup reveals the layers of metal left after demolition April 27 of the mobile service tower, or gantry, at Space Launch Complex 40 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. This mammoth structure, with its cavernous clean room, was imploded to make room for the construction of launch pad access and servicing facilities for the new Falcon rockets to be launched by Space Exploration Technologies, known as SpaceX. The gantry was used for the final spacecraft launch preparations for NASAs Cassini spacecraft, currently orbiting Saturn. The launch occurred on Oct. 15, 1997, aboard an Air Force Titan IV-Centaur rocket.
