ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an improvement in a launch pad mounting system of solid rocket boosters and external tank for a space shuttle craft. The improvement comprises a launch tower support for the inside solid rocket booster and a slideable rocket booster support which allows cryogenic shrinkage of the external tank without affecting preset uptight positioning of the outside solid rocket booster.
