Model made by Axel Monse, http://www.mister-foley.com: The Launch Complex 39A was first used for launches of the Saturn V rocket for nearly all Apollo moon missions, and later for Saturn 1B rockets for the Skylab. The original structure of the pad was remodeled for the needs of the Space Shuttle,after the last Saturn V launch, which carried Skylab in 1973. For the Shuttle, the pad has a fixed tower (left over from the Apollo-Saturn era) and a Rotating Service Platform, used to protect the Shuttle Orbiter and to install vertically-handled payloads into the payload bay. NASA wanted to redesign the pad for the needs of the Constellation program, but the program was cancelled in 2010. The last Space Shuttle Flight was launched in July 2011 with Atlantis (OV-104) for mission STS-135.
