KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -  In the Space Station Processing Facility, modules wrapped in plastic line one wall.  The modules and equipment are being covered in preparation for the expected impact of Hurricane Frances on Saturday.  KSC workers also have powered down the Space Shuttle orbiters, closed their payload bay doors and stowed the landing gear.  They are also taking precautions against flooding by moving spacecraft hardware off the ground and sandbagging facilities. The SSPF can withstand sustained winds of 110 mph and wind gusts up to 132 mph.  The Orbiter Processing Facility is constructed of concrete and steel and was designed to withstand winds of 105 mph.  The Vehicle Assembly Building is constructed of concrete and steel and was designed to withstand winds of 125 mph. Other payload and flight hardware support facilities can endure winds of 110 mph.  Launch pads and the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility can withstand 125-mph winds.
