Construction of the new mobile launch platform and launch umbilical tower for Constellation/Ares-I, next to OPF-3 at the VAB.

The upper stage simulator and spacecraft/LAS simulator for the upcoming Ares-1X test flight. Both components are dummy units, and won't actually perform during the test.

The dummy spacecraft for the upcoming Ares-1X test flight. Note the boost protective cover (nosecone) on the front of the capsule no longer looks anything like this on the real vehicle, due to subsequent configuration changes.

LC-39A undergoing modifications for use with Ares-I. Assuming Ares-I doesn't get cancelled first.

LC-39B undergoing modifications for Constellation use. Note that the top of the Shuttle fixed service structure and the oxygen vent arm appear to have been removed, along with (I think) the white room arm.

The brand-new mobile launch platform being built for the (probably doomed) Ares-I launch vehicle, which the Constellation program will use to send the Orion spacecraft into orbit (assuming Ares doesn't get cancelled). Note the truss segments to the left - these are parts of the launch umbilical tower which will be built atop the platform. Like Apollo and unilike Shuttle, Ares-I will carry its service tower on the launch platform with it, instead of it being built into the pad. Behind the truss segments to the left are the tail service masts from a Shuttle MLP.

Fail. (Inside joke.)
