anyone knows where there is a good drawing of pad 39. Looking for the
correct placement of the tower and the trac for the RSS.

Thanks

Daniel

This might help a little... Google for a free program called
USAPHOTOMAPS. Pad 39A is at 28-36-31 North, 80-36-15 West and 39B is at
28-37-38 North, 80-37-15 West. It'll show you the overhead view pretty
clearly, but I don't know if there's enough detail to show the RSS tracks.

No, I think you _can_ see the arc of those tracks somewhat. Yep. I'm
almost addicted to that program :)

Indeeed.

You can see the old MLSS (did I get that right?) parking area and you can
see the "start" of the road to LC-39C
