Kennedy Space Center Director Bob Cabana speaks at the dedication of the newest display at the entrance to the center's visitor complex. The historic countdown clock was originally set up at the space center's Press Site and was used from the launch of Apollo 12 on Nov. 14, 1969 to the final space shuttle mission, STS-135, launched on July 8, 2011. The old countdown clock was replaced in 2014 with a modern light emitting diode, or LED, display.

STS088-335-015 (4-15 Dec. 1998) --- Astronauts Nancy J. Currie, mission specialist, and Robert D. Cabana, commander, are busy on the flight deck of the Earth-orbiting Space Shuttle Endeavour. Currie is working the controls of the Remote Manipulator System (RMS) arm, while Cabana observes. The crew used the RMS for docking and extravehicular activity (EVA) support during the mission. At mission?s end, the connected United States-built Unity Module (Node 1) and the Russian-built FGB Module (Zarya) were released in Earth-orbit.
Kennedy Space Center Director Bob Cabana speaks to members of the news media on the balcony of Operations Support Building II describing the site's transition from a primarily government-only facility to a premier, multi-user spaceport. In the background is the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB). Modifications were recently completed in the VAB where new work platforms were installed to support processing of NASA's Space Launch System rocket designed to send the Orion spacecraft on missions beyond low-Earth orbit.

Cabana, mission commander, look over checklists as they prepare to continue work in the U.S.-built Unity connecting module in Earth orbit. The STS-88 crew went on to spend eleven days in space preparing Unity and the attached Russian-built Zarya module for their International Space Station (ISS) roles.
Members of the news media view the 10 levels of new work platforms in High Bay 3 inside the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) during a tour of NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida with Center Director Bob Cabana. The final platform, A north, was recently installed. The platforms will surround the Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft on the mobile launcher during processing to prepare for the first test flight. The Ground Systems Development and Operations Program is overseeing upgrades to the VAB, including installation of the new work platforms.
