Model made by Axel Monse, http://www.misterfoley.com: During April 2008, construction started on the ground facilities necessary to support the launch of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. Renovations include installation of new liquid oxygen and kerosene tanks and construction of a hangar for rocket and payload preparation. The first Falcon 9 rocket arrived at SLC-40 in late 2008, and was erected for the first time on October 2009. First launch was June 4th 2010. First fire test of Falcon 9 was end of march 2010. SLC-40 will become the launch facility of the SpaceX Dragon, a reusable automated cargo vehicle which will replace the cargo capabilities of the Space Shuttle following its retirement in 2010. Before 2008 this place was the launch pad for the popular missions "Cassini-Huygens" and "Mars Observer". ( http://www.spacex.com )
