Space Launch Complex 17 (SLC-17) The Delta II program is currently operated by NASA and ULA to launch Delta II rockets Consists of two ELV (Expendable Launch Vehicle) launch pads (A&B) Pad A has been deactivated, Pad B is active for the Delta II program and is expected through 2012 Since 1989, SLC-17 has supported over 100 Delta II launches SLC-17 will be deactivated following the last Delta II mission in 2012
Space Launch Complex 36 (SLC-36) SLC-36A & B were built in support of the Atlas/Centaur program in 1961/1963 respectively. In 1989, modified for Atlas II/Centaur program, late 1990 s modified to support the Atlas III Final launch in 2005, in total, SLC-36 has launched a total of 145 rocket launches Only remaining structures include the Blockhouse and Annex and Support Building In 2008, Space Florida received from the U.S. Air Force a Right of Entry to SLC-36, similar to a lease, and is seeking a Site Operator s License from the FAA Space Florida envisions developing SLC-36 into a commercial launch complex for liquid-fuel rockets Space Florida obtained approval from the FAA/AST office to consolidate the launch site operator license request for SLC-36 into the SLC-46 request which is already underway
Space Launch Complex 37 (SLC-37) Operated by United Space Alliance to launch Boeing s Delta IV SLC-37 previously supported NASA s Saturn I program in the 1960 s The pad was modified recently to support the Delta IV program Addition of a 330 ft Mobile Service Tower (MST) Two large lightning protection towers, and a fixed pad erector A Horizontal Integration Facility (HIF), about 3,300 ft from the launch pad is used to process the Delta IV s Common Booster Cores The HIF contains 3 processing bays measuring 250 ft by 100 ft each Can collectively hold up to 9 boosters at a time
Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) SLC-40 is being refurbished to support the launch of SpaceX Falcon Rocket Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) is a Commercial Space Transport Company Launch complex is licensed by the Air Force to SpaceX to launch Falcon 9 series of rockets Falcon 9 will launch the Dragon spacecraft, a reusable automated cargo vehicle for ISS The Air Force has granted SpaceX a non-exclusive license to operate SLC-40 with the Falcon 9
Space Launch Complex 41 (SLC-41) Originally developed to support the Titan III program in the 1960 s Following last Titan launch in 1999, the site was renovated by Lockheed Martin to support the Atlas V First Atlas V to launch from SLC-41 was on August 21, 2002 Major modifications to SLC-41 in support of the Atlas V program were: Removal of the Titan MST, umbilical tower and mods to pad and launch vehicle services A 300 ft tall Vertical Integration Facility is located about 1,800 ft from the pad Can integrate one Atlas V at a time on top of a mobile launch platform Launch vehicle is transferred to the pad along rails
Space Launch Complex 46 (SLC-46) Was established in 1954 as a fire-fighter training area and utilized for this purpose until 1965 SLC-43, adjacent to SLC-46, was used for meteorological rocket launches from 1962 through 1985 When operations on SLC-43 ceased in 1985, it was demolished for construction of SLC-46 In 1984, SLC-46 was redesigned to support the US Navy s Trident II ballistic missile efforts First Trident II missile was launched from SLC-46 in 1987 Subsequently 18 more Trident II s were launched between March 1987 and January 1989 Trident II launch operations were moved out to sea in late 1989 Since 1999 SLC-46 has not been utilized for commercial space activities By November 2007, Space Florida had completed numerous repairs and maintenance procedures Presently the MAS is in a safed configuration and must be renovated before it can be used for future commercial space activities
Space Launch Complex 47 (SLC-47) In 1984, the site was developed and SLC-47 constructed Space Florida has a Real Property License from the 45th SW to operate and maintain SLC-47 Space Florida has partnered with the 45th SW, FAA/AST, Florida Space Institute (FSI), UCF, and BCC to provide a site that is capable of launching Loki/Super Loki suborbital rockets to altitudes exceeding 200,000 feet Space Florida acts as liaison between the 45th Space Wing and potential customers to support planned and future launches from SLC-47 A rocket motor test stand developed by FTU can potentially be used at SLC-47
Cape San Blas Spaceport Florida Authority (SF predecessor) launched a Microstar rocket in 1992 from a Mobile Launcher at Cape San Blas (on Elgin/Tyndall Air Force Base) for a suborbital weather mission Spaceport Florida Authority joined with the Florida Space Institute (FSI)/UCF in a partnership to provide a launch capability for the University System in Florida The mobile launcher was transferred to FSI in October of 2001 to support this partnership Space Florida is investigating further Super Loki mobile launch site capability at this location and others in state to provide a remote launch area for university rocket development and operations
