PROCUREMENT Completed except for miscellaneous perishable items to be

CONSTRUCTION This facility (completed in 1967) consists of five 75 x 75-ft. x
6-in. thick concrete launch pads located on each of the East and West Peninsulas.
The pads are separated by protective berms (see F&S No. 02066) and connected
by cabling running to the center of each pad. The center to center distance beween pads is 150-185-ft. A signal cable runs adjacent to each row of pads and
connects into the island cable trough system.
Each pad is equipped with a con-
crete pull box to provide 60 and 100-cycle electrical power.
The two sets of launch pads were constructed identical to allow the location of
In-Flight Control Vans on the East Peninsula during launch from the West Peninsula and vice-versa. Subsequent deletion of the requirement to launch to the
East from the East Peninsula has eliminated the requirement for this reversibility.
