NAS01 Vehicle Assembly Building, (VAB) is one of the world's largest structures in volume, enclosing about 3,664,833 cubic meters (129,428,000 cubic feet). The VAB was constructed to house four of the Saturn-Apollo launch vehicle spacecraft assemblies, each standing 36 stories high. Two space shuttles can be assembled at one time in this building. Work platforms at various levels gave access to all components of the Saturn V during assembly. Two launch pads were constructed, with very level and stable roads leading from the VAB to the pads. A vehicle dubbed a "crawler," designed and built with a tank-like tractor unit at each corner transports a complete vertical assembly from the VAB to the pads, moving at the cautious rate of one mile per hour (1.6 km/hr). These crawlers were the world's largest land vehicles.

NAS02 Endeavour Landing, Edwards Air Force Base, California, endeavour launch: September 30, 1994. The drag chute system, one of 13 Detailed Test Objectives (DTO) for STS-68, is deployed as Endeavour completes an eleven day mission. The landing occurred on Runway 22 at 10:02 a.m. (PDT), October 11, 1994.

NAS03 Lunar Landing, Astronaut James B. Irwin is saluting the flag at the Hadley-Apennine landing site during the Apollo 15 extravehicular activity "EVA". The lunar module "LM", Falcon 15 in the center. This spacecraft was designed to carry astronauts from the Apollo command module to the lunar surface and back and to their habitat on the Moon. since the LM would not be required to fly anywhere but in the vacuum of space, designers could disregard aerodynamic rules and give the craft whatever shape was required. A lumpy, uneven surface would not have an impact on its flight. The LM is also sometimes known as a lander or a lunar excursion module. On the right is the Rover. This remarkable vehicle, powered by two 36 1/2 volt batteries, with tires of woven piano wire faced with titanium chevrons, was able to ride on the lunar surface without sinking in the deep (approximately 12-inch) layer of dust present at the site. It also contained a gyroscopic navigational system and a radio unit that allowed the astronauts to talk directly to earth.

NAS04 Splashdown, The Apollo 17 command module America floating to a safe splash down approximately 1043 miles southeast of American Samoa on December 19, 1972. This was the final Apollo mission. The astronauts had spent 75 hours on the lunar surface. Inside the America were astronauts Eugene A. Cerman, Ronald B. Evans, and Harrison H. Schmitt. They were flown by recovery helicopter to the U.S.S. Ticonderoga less than an hour after spalshdown.
