Florida’s Space Coast has been awash with launch activity as of late, thanks in large part to the ever-increasing cadence that SpaceX is fostering. Even with this, several facilities in and around the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS) and NASA’s Kennedy Space Center (KSC) have seen a pulse of activity in recent days, with SpaceX and Blue Origin in particular taking steps to either bolster their existing infrastructure or prepare for future hardware testing.
