Description
English: Facing southwest, this aerial view depicts early construction of Launch Pad 39A, one of two launch sites built for the Apollo Saturn V moon rocket. Each site had an eight-sided polygon and measured 3,000 feet across. The pad had a 390-foot-by-325-foot reinforced concrete hardstand standing 48 feet above sea level. The flame trench in the center held a 700,000-pound flame deflector during launch operations.
