The Picture Gallery: Gemini Instrumentation



Mobile and fixed gantry cranes.
The three MK gantry cranes are shown in the FTZ yard in Hilo. These will be used in instrument handling. The fixed gantry crane (round tubes) will be mounted to the observing floor. The two mobile cranes have castors and are extendible in height. One will go in the instrument assembly area on the summit, the other in the Hilo base facility. The CP gantry cranes are in transit.
