Cape Canaveral
Cape Canaveral
Rocket launch site used by NASA, a promontory on the Atlantic coast of Florida, 367 km/228 mi north of Miami. The Kennedy Space Center is nearby.
In the 50 years since the first rocket launch from Cape Canaveral, in July 1950, over 3,000 missiles and rockets were launched from the site. These included lift-offs to the Moon during the Apollo project, for which a new launch complex was constructed on 324 sq km/126 sq mi of land, doubling the size of the Cape Canaveral site.
