orbiter processing facility

The Orbiter Processing Facility (OPF) is the hangar where NASA's Space Shuttle Orbiters undergo maintenance between flights, and where the vehicle's payloads are loaded and unloaded. There are actually three such facilities, OPF-1, OPF-2, and OPF-3, located at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. OPF-1 and OPF-2 are connected together with a low bay in between them, while OPF-3 is across the street. They are situated west of the Vehicle Assembly Building, where the orbiter is mated with its External Tank and Solid Rocket Boosters before launch.
