[i]The barge arrives at the KSC dock where the stage, nozzle extensions, loose equipment, and thermal insulation boxes are off-loaded. The stage is towed from the dock to the Vertical Assembly Building (VAB). The nozzle extensions, loose equipment, and thermal insulation boxes are loaded on low-bed trailers and transported to the VAB. The stage is removed from the stage transporter and erected onto the Launch Umbilical Tower (LUT) where the engine visual receiving inspection, loose equipment installation, modification and maintenance, stage and engine leak and functional tests, and thermal insulation installations are accomplished. These tasks are conducted concurrently with the Saturn V vehicle assembly and testing.[/i]
