Summary

[edit]
Description

The large building on the left is the Vehicle Assembly Building, where the Space Shuttle is attached to its fuel tank and boosters into the launch configuration stack before being sent to the launchpad.

Other buildings in the area refurbish the Space Shuttle and its components between flights.

On the day this photo was taken (17 February 2008), Atlantis was in space (and would return 4 days later), Discovery was in a hangar being refurbished for the next mission, and Endeavour was in the Vehicle Assembly Building being put into the launch stack.
