Launch Tower & Space Shuttle
The Kennedy Space Center in Florida, with launch complex 39, is the largest and most famous space center in the Western world. It lies in the middle of a nature reserve on Cape Canaveral and is more than just a starting device. A new era of space transportation began with the deployment of the Space Shuttle, which cost-effectively transported a large number of payloads to orbit. On the grounds of NASA's John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC), at the northern end of Cape Canaveral, is the Launch Complex 39 with two identical launch facilities, LC-39A and LC-39B. From here almost all manned spaceflight missions of NASA were launched with Saturn rockets.
After the Apollo program, the conversion of the facilities for the operated from 1981 to 2011 space shuttle program was carried out.
On both reinforced concrete launch pads were the 81 meter high steel utility towers with all the necessary supply lines, cranes, stairs, lift and a horizontally swiveling arm, the Rotating Service Structure (RSS). The RSS was turned into the shuttle as soon as the mobile launch platform (MLP) rested on the pillars of the launch pad with the outer tank fixed in start position, the two boosters and the orbiter. It served as weather protection of the shuttle, for energy supply, the loading of its transport bay and final refueling. The Orbiter entrance hatch was reachable from the FSS at a height of 45 m above the pad by means of a swiveling outrigger.
With the help of a caterpillar transporter, the mobile launch platform together with the space shuttle was moved from the assembly hall to the launch site. The tracked vehicle was powered by two 2,750hp (2,023kW) diesel engines and reached an average speed of 1.6km / h. After the end of the Space Shuttle program, these facilities are currently being converted for the launch of future rockets.
