Cape Canaveral Space Force Station
Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Military spaceport in Brevard County, United States
Cape Canaveral Space Force Station operates multiple launch complexes along Florida's eastern coast for military and commercial space missions.
The station began operations in 1949 as the Joint Long Range Proving Ground, leading to the development of American space exploration programs.
The Cape Canaveral Space Force Museum preserves artifacts and documents the numerous space missions that shaped the United States space program.
Visitors access the facility through guided tours departing from Kennedy Space Center, requiring advance reservations and security clearance procedures.
The facility's location near the equator provides natural advantages for rocket launches by maximizing the Earth's rotational speed during spacecraft deployment.
