Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF) A single landing strip--considered 2 runways -- Runway 15 from northwest -- Runway 33 from southeast - 15,000 feet long - 1,000 foot-paved overruns at each end feet wide (length of football field) - 50-foot asphalt shoulders each side - 16” thick in the center, 15” thick on sides - Slope of 24”, center line to edge, for drainage

-- Night Landings: Flatbed trailers hold eight Xenon lights, 4 on each end of runway -- Each Xenon light produces 1 billion candlepower (candela) -- Only turn on lights that will be behind crew when it lands Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF)
