Keep in mind this site could deemed off-limits at the last minute due to wind direction (a safety concern) because of the short distance to the pad, but this has only happened a couple of times so far. The closest possible launch viewing of any rocket launch from Cape Canaveral is offered for Atlas 5: just 2.3 miles away at the LC-39 Observation Gantry, by buying tickets sold by the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. In 2021-22, for example, the company Blue Origin will bring launches - and bigger rockets - back to pad 36, which is closest to Port Canaveral and Jetty Park and will have great viewing options from down there.Ītlas 5 rockets launch from Pad 41 ( 28.583 N, 80.583 W ). Read the sections below for more information and check back again for new launches in the coming years. Further complicating things these days are Falcon landings, which take place many miles south of the pads they launch from, so getting closest to launch can mean being farthest from landing, or vice-versa. Unfortunately, the answer is more complicated than you might expect, as each of the three rockets can alternate for the winner of 'best viewing' depending on the time of day they are launching and whether the KSC Visitor Complex is offering tickets to get to a closer spot, which is not the case for every launch. I frequently get asked which is the best rocket to come see. Please >note that other, closer locations you may seem to find on a map and which are not mentioned are either not open to the public, are on private property or are in an unsafe viewing location.įrom south to north at Cape Canaveral are landing zone 1 (Falcon first stage landings) and active launch pads 37B (Delta 4 rockets), 40 (Falcon 9 rockets), 41 (Atlas 5 rockets) and 39A (Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets). I have personally verified all details over my 20+ years and 200+ launches of experience and have accurately measured all distances to within less than one-tenth of a mile.
