The old countdown analogue clockin NASA's Kennedy Space Center has been changed with a new LED Display. The clock structure, which took a beating from Florida weather on more than one occasion, including sustaining damage from three hurricanes in 2004 and witnessed countless historic space missions like Apolo, is now symbol of the human progress for milions of people around the globe.

However, its age is now over and a new LED display took its place. It is very similar in size to the historic clock, with screen nearly 8 meters wide by 2 meters high. While not true high-definition, the video resolution will be 1280x360. The display will provade images from multiple sources, as well as the countdown launch time. Also, streaming video will be an option.

"We've been refurbishing our structures and facilities here for more than three years and I think this new countdown display is symbolic of the way we can meet the demands of the future using modern technology without losing sight of our landmark accomplishments," said Bob Cabana, director of Kennedy Space Center and former shuttle commander.

While the former clock will be set up at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex where the public will see it up-close beginning in early 2015, the new display starts new age and takes over the watch for launch day.
