My particular role in this research project is to contribute to the mapping and analysis of damage incurred by Kennedy Space Center (KSC) by the atypically active 2004 hurricane season, in which multiple hurricanes impacted spaceflight operations at KSC and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS).
Project Details
Given our country's increasing dependence on access to space (e.g., satellites, defense), our reliance on the KSC/CCAFS facilities and launch sites will also increase commensurately. Thus, it is imperative to identify trends and relationships that can promote the integrity of these spaceports.
