Cape Canaveral Space Force Museum, Military and aviation museum at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, United States.
The Cape Canaveral Space Force Museum displays rockets, missiles, and space equipment at Launch Complex 26, showing the technological growth of American military aerospace programs. The collection features intact and partial examples of vehicles used in early space missions.
The museum was established in 1966 and preserves artifacts from early American space missions, including components from the Delta Rocket Program and materials from the Explorer 1 satellite. These objects show how aerospace technology developed in the first years of the Space Age.
Former military personnel and retired space program employees serve as guides, sharing stories from their time working on aerospace projects. Their presence brings the exhibits to life through firsthand knowledge of what the work was actually like.
Access is through the Cape Canaveral Early Space Tour, organized from the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and offered four days per week. Check ahead before your visit since the tour is part of the center's ticketing system.
The nearby Sands Space History Center, which opened in 2010, offers free public access to additional space program artifacts from the 1950s. This collection complements the main exhibits and shows earlier phases of American space development.
