Rubb has recently completed a structure covering the launch pad at the Wallops Flight Facility for the MLAS (Max Launch Abort System) project. The BVE-range building is 50 feet in length, width and height. The 25-ton building is equipped with Hilman rollers that allow it to be retracted 200 feet from the launch pad in under thirty minutes. This tight-timeframe project had to be finished in time to meet the launch schedule, currently set for 6:15 am EDT on July 8, 2009. The launch status will be updated online through Twitter at http://twitter.com/NASA_Wallops.
