About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — The pilot of the NASA helicopter secures the rotary blade before the helicopter’s transfer to Ransom Road at KSC. It is one of four UH-1H helicopters that will have its blades painted, changing the black to a pattern of white and yellow stripes. The pattern provides better visibility in smoke and fire conditions. When the rotors are turning, the stripes create a yellow and white circle that is more easily seen by a second helicopter from above.
