America's Spaceport

John F. Kennedy Space Center is located on the golden shores of Florida's east coast. Our rich legacy includes launching all U.S. human space flight missions, from the early days of Project Mercury to the space shuttle and the next generation of vehicles, and sending spacecraft to the farthest reaches of our solar system and beyond.
