CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Inside Firing Room 4 in the Launch Control Center at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the outer walls, inner walls, windows and doors for the four firing rooms have been completed and new carpeting has been installed. Three rows of upper level management consoles remain and could be used as a fifth firing room. The Ground Systems Development and Operations Program is overseeing the efforts to create a new firing room based on a multi-user concept. The design of Firing Room 4 incorporates five control room areas that can be 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/Dimitri Gerondidakis
