The VAB as viewed from the exterior

The Vehicle Assembly Building (abbr. VAB, sometimes wrongly called "Vertical Assembly Building") is a large construction facility at Kerbal Space Center. It is commonly used for designing rockets and other spacecraft in a vertical environment. Parts can be placed without or with two-, three-, four-, six- and eightfold radial symmetry as opposed to the SPH's bilateral symmetry. Vessels constructed in the VAB will launch from the Launch Pad.

The V.A.B. has been a feature of Kerbal Space Program since its initial public release in July of 2011.
