  • 7487: View of remote launch operations building, power generation room #124, showing no-break units NB-1002 (A) and NB-1001 (B).
    • This equipment consisted of a 150 horsepower, D.C. operational motor which drove, on each end of the extended shaft, a 70 kw generator and a 30 kw generator unit.
    • It was designed to provide continuous power service for launch equipment.
    • Photographer unknown, 1 September 1974.
  • 7485: View of remote launch operations building exterior (southwest corner), prior to earth mounding.
    • A,B,C, and D are heat exchangers HX-1102B, HX-1102A, HX-1101B, and HX-1101 A, respectively.
    • The heat exchangers transferred heat from the cooling water to the outside air during the normal operating mode.
    • On the far right is the air exhaust shaft.
