RWG Launch and Landing Facility (LLF)

The Shuttle Landing Facility covers 500 acres (2.0 km2) and has a single runway, 15/33. It is one of the longest and stronger runways in the world, at 15,000 feet (4,600 m), and is 300 feet (91 m) wide. The facility includes a 150 x 168 meter (490x550ft) parking apron and a 3.2 km (2 mile) tow-way connecting it with the Orbiter Processing Facility.

Located adjacent to the parking apron is a Landing Aids Control Building (LACB) which supports landing operations and houses operations personnel. It is a part of the Kennedy Space Center and was used by Space Shuttle for landing until July 2011

Caution! PAPI lights are on runway axis 13° slope for Space shuttle landing as a glider
