    Shaun O’Boyle takes beautiful black and white photos of abandoned launch complexes at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral. The image above pictures a sign showing Atlas and Atlas-Agena missile launches and dates at Launch Complex 13. If you are interested in having hard copies, a book is available for purchase collecting the best photographs from the series.

    The 1,300-ton structure was used to launch Atlas/Agena space launch vehicles in the 1960s and 1970s. The most famous of those launches were five Lunar Orbiter missions for NASA in 1966 and 1967. Those missions photographed about 99 percent of the moon’s surface and helped pave the way to men landing on the moon in 1969.

    There were 51 launches of Atlas and Atlas/Agena vehicles from Complex 13 from 1958 to 1978. The last launch from Complex 13 occurred April 6, 1978, and the pad was abandoned. (via)
