This 2015 aerial photo shows the runway at the Kennedy Space Center's former Shuttle Landing Facility. Longer and wider than most commercial runways, it is 15,000 feet long, with 1,000-foot paved overruns on each end, and 300 feet wide, with 50-foot asphalt shoulders. Used by military and civilian cargo carriers, astronauts' T-38 trainers, Shuttle Training Aircraft and helicopters as well as the space shuttle, the runway is now managed by Space Florida as a commercial spaceport.
