Firing Room 4 is the main shuttle firing room at Kennedy Space Center. It has been updated with modern detailing and furniture, and it is where the launch director would sit during a shuttle launch.
This room is only used for shuttle launches. Firing room 1 is currently being renovated for the first test launch of the Ares 1X rocket, which is the test rocket for the Constellation, and which is expected to launch next April.
