CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – An artist's concept shows a possible layout of a commercial spacecraft and rocket using facilities inside the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida as the center undergoes a transformation into a multi-user spaceport. At left is the Space Launch System, or SLS, currently under development by NASA. At right is a generic rocket and spacecraft design indicative of the likely arrangement of such a vehicle. Several companies are designing rockets and spacecraft that could be used to launch astronauts and payloads into space in the future. Credit: NASA
