CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – A portion of the crawlerway, the Vehicle Assembly Building and the Launch Control Center are illuminated by a bright sun in this view looking west at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Inside Firing Room 4 in the Launch Control Center, the Ground Systems Development and Operations Program is overseeing efforts to create a new firing room based on a multi-user concept. The design of Firing Room 4 will incorporate five control room areas that are flexible to meet current and future NASA and commercial user requirements. The equipment and most of the consoles from Firing Room 4 were moved to Firing Room 2 for possible future reuse. Photo credit: NASA/Ben Smegelsky
