What does SLF stand for?

announced the signing of a formal Space Act Agreement enabling Starfighters, a private aerospace company that operates high performance fighter aircraft, to fully utilize the Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF) to conduct flight operations providing commercial space flight training, support research and development, test and engineering for the benefit of the emerging commercial space industry, and to otherwise advance aerospace and space-related technology in Florida.

Overall, our primary concern on launch day is for thunderstorms and showers to be in the area, particularly within 20 nautical miles of the shuttle landing facility and 10 nautical miles of the launch pad," said shuttle weather officer Kathy Winters.

The Kennedy (space center) weather forecast is expected to improve somewhat, but there is a good chance weather in the vicinity of the Shuttle Landing Facility will be unfavorable," the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said on its website.

Two to five days before each launch date, a tour is conducted to Kennedy's Shuttle Landing Facility for photographing the astronauts landing in their T-38 mach three jets from Houston Space Center.

On April 17, several major news affiliates covered Starfighters flying in the first of a series of test missions that will help NASA assess the potential impacts of sub-orbital and orbital commercial space tourism flights from the Shuttle Landing Facility.

NASA television announced that two landing attempts had been delayed because of inclement weather conditions at the shuttle landing facility at Cape Canaveral in Florida.
