NASA's first damage assessment for the Kennedy Space Center
NASA has released the first damage assessment for the Kennedy Space
Center: "Emergency crews are on site at Kennedy Space Center in Florida and are providing the first information on conditions there following Hurricane Frances. They report that key buildings such as the Launch Control Center and the massive, white Vehicle Assembly Building are still standing. The emergency crews see some exterior damage to the VAB, where Space Shuttles are readied for launch. There are a significant number of panels missing from the exterior. The Shuttles themselves rode out the storm in their hangars, known as Orbiter Processing Facilities. We do not yet have information on conditions there." MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2004 1620 GMT From Spaceflight Now http://www.spaceflightnow.com/hurricane/status.html

So far, I've read that Lockheed Martin has reported little damage to it's Titan and Atlas pads and vehicles. I've not heard anything about Boeing/Delta. There was also a report that KSC lost another one of its displayed Mercury Redstones, but I've not seen any photos. - Ed Kyle

Here's a pictu http://www.nasa.gov/vision/earth/loo...h/frances.html http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/6...es_mercury.jpg Clearly, the Mercury part was a mock-up and is a total loss. The Redstone doesn't look so good either. The tanks are buckled in at least three places. Jeff -- Remove icky phrase from email address to get a valid address.
