4 posts around launch site?
There's an image
(http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/1...n_06pd0094.jpg) on the Nasa web site of the New Horizons launch, showing 4 towers surrounding the launch site. What are they? I'm guessing lightning protection? |

What are they? I'm guessing lightning protection? Look more closely and you may see wires strung between the towers. Typical at a lot of launch sites. --Damon |

Precisely correct. The pads at KSC have extensive lightning
protection, thanks to area's propensity for thunderstorms. Matt www.mattwriter.com |
