Kennedy Space Center Viewing Packages

When SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy lifts off from Kennedy Space Center’s famed Pad 39A, the same launch pad from which Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong set course for the moon on Apollo 11 in 1969, a new kind of history will be made.

In anticipation of the once-in-a-lifetime event, Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is offering guests special viewing opportunities – all within a few miles from the launchpads.
