From article <43998@ames.arc.nasa.gov>, by yee@trident.arc.nasa.gov (Peter E. Yee): > Launch Pad 39-A sustained minimal damage from the launch of > Atlantis yesterday at 2:51 a.m. EST. The pad was washed down last > night [...] As a matter of interest, what sort of damage does the launch pad normally sustain? What kinds of repair work are usually needed to the pad after Shuttle launches? What is the contamination that requires the pad to be "washed down"? Is the launch pad contaminated by toxic materials (e.g. from SRBs) when launch has finished? Sorry for all the questions! Kind of let myself go there..... -- Andy Clews, Computing Service, Univ. of Sussex, Brighton BN1 9QN, England JANET: andy@syma.sussex.ac.uk BITNET: andy%syma.sussex.ac.uk@uk.ac
