About this work
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - On Launch Pad 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the giant crane at left will be used to continue erecting the lightning towers at right. Each of the three new lightning towers will be 500 feet tall with an additional 100-foot fiberglass mast atop supporting a wire centenary system. This improved lightning protection system allows for the taller height of the Ares I compared to the space shuttle.
