VEHICLE ASSEMBLY BUILDING BACK IN BUSINESS

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - The Vehicle Assembly Building at KSC sports a
patchwork façade after the holes created by recent hurricanes were covered
with corrugated steel panels. The VAB lost 820 panels from the south wall
during Hurricane Frances, and 25 additional panels pulled off the east wall
by Hurricane Jeanne. Employees of Met-Con, a subcontractor in Cocoa, Fla.,
worked night and day on scaffolds hung from the 525-foot-high roof to close
the holes and enable the facility to return to normal operations.
