The two spaceport launch facilities in the Cape Canaveral area — NASA’s Kennedy Space Center (KSC) and the U.S. Space Force’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS) — are on the verge of even bigger changes than have been seen in the last few years. In a recent flyover of the Cape, NSF obtained new imagery that shows just how dramatically things are set to develop in the near future.
SpaceX is making significant progress on its Starship program facilities for KSC’s Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A), the upcoming Giga Bay near Roberts Road, and even Space Launch Complex 37 (SLC-37) on the CCSFS side of the Cape. The company has also begun preliminary work on a new landing facility at Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40), its primary Falcon 9 launch pad in Florida.
