The Shuttle Launch Experience
is now open at Kennedy Space Center
Visitor Complex. Until now, only astronauts
could experience the sensations of a shuttle
launch. Now you can feel the heart-pounding
excitement on this authentic simulation
designed by NASA and a team of astronauts.
This immersive experience takes you through
the launch sequence, the rattle and roll
of lift-off as well as a breathtaking view
of the Earth as seen only by a few hundred
astronauts. |

| NASA's John F. Kennedy
Space Center is America's premier gateway
to the universe. As the world's only launch
site for the space shuttle, Kennedy prepares
vehicles for each mission, operates each
countdown, and manages end-of-mission landing
recovery activities. The Center also coordinates
all expendable vehicle launches carrying
a NASA payload, whether the launches take
place at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station
in Florida, Vandenberg Air Force Base in
California, or elsewhere. Finally, as the
last Earthly stop for International Space
Station hardware, Kennedy prepares these
elements for their missions in space. |
