Le "case" dei nostri aerei e il punto di transito di ogni passeggero, parliamo degli aeroporti di tutto il mondo, ognuno con la sua storia, il suo fascino, le sue peculiarità
lo shuttle non atterra in un aeroporto... c'è la landing strip all'interno del ksc oppure a volte capita di atterrare alla edwards air force base in california .. addirittura ci sono piste da 30k piedi li. comunque ho trovato questo:
White Sands Space Harbor
The Runways
In 1976, NASA selected Northrup Strip as the site for shuttle pilot training. A second runway was added crossing the original north-south landing strip, and in 1979 both lakebed runways were lengthened to 35,000 ft (10,668 m), which includes 15,000 ft (4,572 m) usable runway with 10,000 ft (3048 m) extensions on either end, to allow the White Sands Space Harbor (WSSH) to serve as shuttle backup landing facility.
The hard-packed gypsum strip provides what the shuttle needed in the early landings and under emergency situations: a long, forgiving runway. The north-south runway is configured to simulate the runway at Kennedy Space Center, Florida, while the east-west runway simulates the lakebed runway at Edwards Air Force Base, California. In 1987, a third, shorter runway was constructed to simulate the transatlantic abort landing site at Ben Guerir, Morocco, and is used to simulate training at Moron, Spain and Banjul, The Gambia.
