KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - Launch Complex 39 facilities are now visible through the openings left by missing panels from the exterior walls of the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB)following Hurricane Frances. The storm's path over Florida took it through Cape Canaveral and KSC property during Labor Day weekend. Located in the heart of Launch Complex 39, the VAB is used for the integration and stacking of Space Shuttle elements and for the checkout and storage of Space Shuttle External Tanks.
