KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Elevated platforms are seen hanging in front of the NASA Logo on the side of Kennedy Space Center's Vehicle Assembly Building. Also in view on the east side of the building are platforms on the facility's large vertical doors. Workers, suspended on the platforms from the top of the 525-foot-high VAB, use rollers and brushes to do the painting. The flag and logo were last painted in 1998, honoring NASA's 40th anniversary. The flag spans an area 209 feet by 110 feet, or about 23, 437 square feet. Each stripe is 9 feet wide and each star is 6 feet in diameter. The logo, also known as the "meatball," measures 110 feet by 132 feet, or about 12,300 square feet. Photo credit: NASA/George Shelton
