CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – The Launch Control Center at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida is ready to support NASA's 21st century space program. The louvered windows installed during the Apollo era have been replaced with new, hurricane-rated window systems in the four firing rooms and vestibule areas between the firing rooms. To avoid operational impacts and protect the firing rooms from the elements, the new windows were installed on the outside of the original windows, enclosing the space formerly occupied by the louvers until the new windows were leak tested.
