Abstract

Launch Complex 34 of the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS) was constructed between June 1959 and February 1961, and is associated with the Saturn 1 and Saturn 1B missile test flights and two Apollo program launches–including the tragic Apollo 1 launch rehearsal fire and the successful Apollo 7 mission. The site was deactivated in November of 1971, and two years later it was abandoned in place. Today the site serves as a memorial to the Apollo 1 tragedy and is part of a National Historic Landmark District designation along with several historic Launch Complex facilities located on the CCAFS. Laser scanned with a phase shift scanner, and documented with photogrammetry, imaging and GPS survey. See also: https://youtu.be/-4ZSQwj0uj0
