Abstract

The Digital Heritage and Humanities Collections are using terrestrial LiDAR to document historic launch complexes at Cape Canaveral, including the LC 26 blockhouse. Constructed for the Redstone and Jupiter missile programs in 1956-1957, the blockhouse was only about 400 feet from the launch pads and had to be explosion proof. The walls of the blockhouse are two-feet thick, and the dome-shaped roof is from five-feet to nearly eight-feet thick. Further explosion proof measures included windows about one foot thick and blast doors made with heavy armor-like plating.
