An art concept depicting a commercial rocket poised for launch at LC-39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

More Images of the Day... Check out these two great pieces of artwork showing how launch vehicles—both government and commercially-made—will be processed and configured for flight at NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida. The illustration above shows a commercial rocket poised for launch at LC-39A...which was last used to send space shuttle Atlantis on her final voyage (as well as the last mission of the Space Shuttle Program), STS-135, almost two years ago. The art concept below depicts the Space Launch System and said commercial rocket coexisting side-by-side within the cavernous Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at KSC. Whether this dual op becomes a reality between NASA and a private space company inside the VAB remains to be seen.
