Book excerpt: Stenciled on many of the deactivated facilities at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, the evocative phrase “abandoned in place” indicates the structures that have been deserted. Some structures, too solid for any known method of demolition, stand empty and unused in the wake of the early period of US space exploration. Now Roland Miller’s color photographs document the NASA, Air Force, and Army facilities across the nation that once played a crucial role in the space race. Rapidly succumbing to the elements and demolition, most of the blockhouses, launch towers, tunnels, test stands, and control rooms featured in Abandoned in Place are located at secure military or NASA facilities with little or no public access. Some have been repurposed, but over half of the facilities photographed no longer exist. The haunting images collected here impart artistic insight while preserving an important period in history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In late 1993 and early 1994, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Louis District assisted Patrick Air Force Base by conducting a Section 6 Summary, as required by Public Law 101-601 (the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act), and a survey of archaeological collections and associated documentation recovered from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Three facilities--Cape Canaveral Air Force Station; New South Associates, Stone Mountain, Georgia; and the Florida Division of Historic Resources, Bureau of Archaeological Research, Tallahassee were visited by St. Louis District personnel. Approximately 12 ft3 of artifacts and three linear feet of associated records were examined to locate the presence of unassociated funerary objects, objects of cultural patrimony, or sacred objects and to evaluate the current condition of Cape Canaveral archaeological materials. No Section 6 Summary items were found, and it was determined that all Cape Canaveral collections require at least partial rehabilitation to comply with Federal regulations.

Public Laws require the United States Air Force to identify and evaluate properties under Air Force jurisdiction that are potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). In 1993, CCAS's Launch Complex 26, a dual pad complex, was determined eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Launch Complex 26 is used for Cape Canaveral's Space Museum and is the home of approximately 50 military rockets and missiles on static display. This report documents on-site and archival research on the rocket and missile static displays on Launch Complex 26.

Book Streamlining Space Launch Range Safety

Download or read book Streamlining Space Launch Range Safety written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-04-15 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. space program is rapidly changing from an activity driven by federal government launches to one driven by commercial launches. In 1997, for the first time commercial launches outnumbered government launches at the Eastern Range (ER), located at Cape Canaveral Air Station, Florida. Commercial activity is also increasing at the Western Range (WR), located at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. The government itself is emulating commercial customers, shifting from direct management of launch programs to the purchase of space launch services from U.S. commercial launch companies in an open, competitive market. The fundamental goal of the U.S. space program is to ensure safe, reliable, and affordable access to space. Despite the inherent danger of space launches, the U.S. space program has demonstrated its ability to protect the public. No launch site worker or member of the general public has been killed or seriously injured in any of the 4,600 launches conducted at the ER and WR during the entire 50-year history of the space age. Streamlining Space Launch Range Safety discusses whether range safety processes can be made more efficient and less costly without compromising public safety. This report presents six primary recommendations, which address risk management, Africa gates, roles and responsibilities, range safety documentation [EWR 127-1]), global positioning system (GPS) receiver tracking systems, and risk standards for aircraft and ships.
