List of space shuttle landing sites : ウィキペディア英語版 | List of space shuttle landing sites
Three locations in the United States of America were the sites of landings of the Space Transportation System (Space Shuttle). Each site included runways of sufficient length to provide adequate distance for the slowing-down of a returning space shuttle. The prime landing site was the Shuttle Landing Facility at the Kennedy Space Center, a landing strip constructed for the purpose of space shuttle landings. Landings also occurred at Edwards Air Force Base in California, and one occurred at White Sands Space Harbor in New Mexico. No space shuttle landed on a dry lakebed runway after 1991. International landing sites were available in the event of a Transoceanic Abort Landing (TAL) situation,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=HSF – The Shuttle )〕 and other sites in the United States and Canada were available in the event of an East Coast Abort Landing (ECAL) situation. Space shuttle landings were intended to regularly take place at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California for Department of Defense missions launched from the site, but none occurred due to the cancellation of all launches from Vandenberg. == Kennedy Space Center ==
The Shuttle Landing Facility at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida has a single concrete runway, 15/33.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF) )〕 It is designated Runway 15 or 33, depending on the direction of use. The first landing at the SLF was for mission STS-41B in 1984; landings were suspended at the site following brake damage and a blown tire during the STS-51D landing in 1985,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NASA – STS-51D )〕 and resumed in 1990.
