3D Digital Documentation of Historic Launch Complex Structures at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS): A Workflow Methodology for DoD Cultural Resources LC19 and LC34 Areas of Interest

Author(s): Travis Doering; Lori Collins

Year: 2016

Summary

Working in collaboration with the 4sth Space Wing of the United States Air Force, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS), this digital survey and documentation was undertaken to provide continuing baseline terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) survey, monitoring, and spatial recordation for selected historic launch complexes. Targeted structures were chosen for ongoing assessment and 3D laser scan survey, and these data were brought together with aerial Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) applications in a digital platform for landscape and structure consideration. The project was performed in combination with Global Positioning Systems (GPS), videography, and imaging documentation, with the 3D terrestrial laser scanning providing the referent data for the derived 3D Computer Assisted Drawing (CAD) products and archival as-is conditional reference. Previously, six historic launch complexes, two building complexes, and associated structures and features were documented using the survey methods presented here. In this present survey, two additional launch complexes and all associated buildings and features were similarly recorded from the initial survey project.
