- Abstract
- NASA Engineers at the Kennedy Space Center required a more effective floodlighting system to illuminate Launch Complex 39 for photographic monitoring and review of the fueling, final checkout, and launching. Searchlights currently being manufactured used a 20-kW liquid-cooled xenon lamp. The 30-in xenon searchlight and its application in the space program are described. Performance characteristics of the searchlight, xenon lamp and illumination levels obtained for photography and TV on the launch complex are presented.
