Sunrise at the VAB

The Sun rises on the Vehicle Assembly Building at the John F. Kennedy Kennedy Space Center (KSC) on Merritt Island, Florida, U.S.A. Inside this building the Saturn V rocket along with the Apollo spacecraft, the Space Shuttle system were "stacked." NASA's next spacecraft, Orion, along with the Space Launch System (SLS) will soon be using this facility for their stacking.
