The John F. Kennedy Space Center, located on the east coast of Florida, is one of ten National Aeronautics and Space Administration field centers, and is NASA’s Center of Excellence for launch and payload processing systems.
Kennedy Space Center has been NASA’s primary launch center since December 1968. Launch operations for the Apollo, Skylab and Space Shuttle programs were carried out from Kennedy Space Center. Since 2010, the center has worked to become a multi-user spaceport through industry partnerships, even adding a new launch pad (LC-39C) in 2015. There are about 700 facilities grouped across the center’s 144,000 acres. Among the unique facilities at Kennedy Space Center are the 525 ft tall Vehicle Assembly Building for stacking NASA’s largest rockets, Operations and Checkout Building which houses the astronaut crew quarters, and 3-mile-long Shuttle Landing Facility.
The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, has a variety of exhibits, artifacts, displays and attractions on the history and future of human and robotic spaceflight. Bus tours of KSC originate from here. The complex also includes the separate Apollo/Saturn V Center and the United States Astronaut Hall of Fame, is only six miles west near Titusville. The high-tech attraction entitled “Heroes and Legends”, is to be opened late in 2016.
