- Launch Programs
One of the busiest places in Florida is the Space Center’s launch and landing facility. Witness live launches from the closest designated public viewing areas right on Kennedy Space Center property, during operating hours. Thousands of communication and surveillance satellites have been put into orbit here at the Kennedy Space Center. The launches are monthly events aboard unmanned rockets such as Atlas, Delta, and SpaceX’s Falcon 9. The unmanned rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, were launched from Cape Canaveral and landed successfully on Mars in another giant leap for mankind. - History of Space Exploration
Imagine walking the corridors of Kennedy Space Center, and around every corridor there is a little piece of history about the genesis of space exploration. Such programs such as the Mercury Program, which selected the first Astronauts and first manned spaceship to fly around the earth. With computers much less powerful than the smartphone in your pocket, early NASA engineers designed and created rockets that would take us into space. - Apollo/Saturn V Center
The Apollo era of space travel is considered to be the Glory Days of the space program. This special exhibit celebrates the monumental accomplishment of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely home.
