Kennedy Space Center offers SpaceX lift-off viewing packages
Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is offering guests the chance to be there to witness the launch of the SpaceX Falcon Heavy USSF-44 on November 1
It provides some of the closest public launch viewings offered.
The experience will be even more special with launch viewing packages that include real-time expert launch commentary, commemorative souvenirs and activities.
Departing from Launch Pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center, the mission is expected to deploy two spacecraft payloads directly into geosynchronous orbit, one of which is the military’s TETRA 1 microsatellite.
Guests who purchase a package will also have the opportunity to watch the landing as well as hear the sonic boom of both side boosters, which will return to landing sites 1 and 2 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
After the launch, guests can continue the excitement with a “nose-to-nose” view of the SpaceX Falcon 9 booster which is suspended from the ceiling inside Gateway: The Deep Space Launch Complex.
While there, guests get to see other flight-flown artifacts – including the Orion Exploration Flight Test-1 capsule and SpaceX Cargo Dragon COTS-2.
Ticket packages are sold for the specific mission and not for a specific date.
Packages can be booked via the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex website at: https://www.kennedyspacecenter.com
The limited-availability packages will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis.
The Feel the Heat Package ($250) includes two–day admission to Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex (second use is valid post-launch within 30 days), real-time launch expert commentary, bus transportation to the Apollo/Saturn V Center and a commemorative souvenir.
General Admission Launch Viewing at Atlantis North Lawn is priced at $79, including real-time launch expert commentary and admission to Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex
