Witnessing a live rocket launch is a jaw-dropping, bucket-list experience. Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex provides the closest public viewing of rocket launches with live launch commentary from space experts.
Kennedy Space Center is bringing the heat for the latest commercial crew launch into space, with tickets now on sale for Feel the Heat Viewing Packages for the upcoming SpaceX Falcon 9 Crew-7 launch that is scheduled for August 25 at 3:49 m from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center.
This will be only the seventh commercial crew launch to the International Space Station from Kennedy Space Center, and the Apollo/Saturn V Center at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex offers the closest available viewing location for the public, located only four miles from the launch pad.
This latest launch will see NASA and SpaceX launch the seventh crewed mission to the International Space Station (ISS) as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program (CCP).
The launch of Dragon, named Endurance, will carry NASA astronaut and mission commander Jasmin Moghbeli, ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut and pilot Andreas Mogensen, along with JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Satoshi Furukawa and Roscosmos cosmonaut Konstantin Borisov as mission specialists.
This is the first spaceflight for Moghbeli and Borisov, and second flight for Mogensen and Furukawa.
