Author	Topic: Which pad is 36A & which is 36B
hlbjr Member Posts: 475 From: Delray Beach Florida USA Registered: Mar 2006	posted 07-27-2006 05:39 PM I need help determining which of the pads at Complex 36 are A & B. Spaceflight films great liftoff DVD's have great Atlas footage of AC1 & AC5 at 36A but I don't know which actual pad that is. I guess I should ask which is the North-Easternmost pad and which one is the most South-Westernmost? Or, which one has the longest railway for the Mobile Service Structure to transit? Thanks for your help.

When the pads were closed, both umbilical towers were the same height I believe. If Ken Havekotte sees this post, he can enlighten us on this. ------------------ John Macco Vice President Space Unit Shady Side, Md.
