Space Coast Prepares For Frances

Kennedy Space Center Closing To Prepare For Hurricane Frances

Due to Hurricane Frances approaching the Florida coast, Kennedy Space Center Director Jim Kennedy has directed the Center to be closed for all personnel on Thursday and Friday.

Final hurricane preparations were being made Wednesday to secure the Center for the storm. The Center is set to reopen on Tuesday, Sept. 7. However, this date could change depending on the severity of the storm. For up to date information, please call 321-867-2525, which will be operational as long as possible.

The Swift observatory is in the clean room at NASA’s Hangar AE on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. In preparation for Hurricane Frances, the spacecraft is covered in a protective double bag and has also been installed in its shipping container for additional protection.
