Launch Complex 39 Press Site
Launch Complex 39 Press Site, Press center at Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39, US
The Launch Complex 39 Press Site features media facilities, a news center spanning 8,700 square feet, and dedicated workspace for major broadcasting networks.
The press center has documented every United States crewed space launch since Apollo 8 in 1968, earning its place on the National Register of Historic Places.
Journalists gather in the John Holliman Auditorium for pre-launch and post-launch conferences, maintaining a tradition of space mission coverage for global audiences.
The press site includes a digital countdown clock displaying T-zero before launches and Mission Elapsed Time afterward, helping media coordinate their coverage.
During the Space Shuttle Program, the site displayed specific orbiter flags beneath the American flag on launch days, marking each mission's identity.
