The first new work platforms for NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) were powered on and tested in the Vehicle Assembly Building High Bay 3 at the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. During a preliminary test April 28, the two J-level platforms were extended to test their motors, tracks and roller systems for functionality. The J-level platforms are one of ten levels of platforms that will surround the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft during processing.
