LC 48 Site Development
Pictured here is the site of Launch Complex 48 at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, on June 1, 2021. The spaceport’s newest launch site is designed specifically for small-class commercial vehicles and the small satellite industry. Located about a mile south of Kennedy’s historic Launch Complex 39A on Cape Road, and completed in August 2020, the 10-acre complex provides a dedicated space for vehicles generating 500,000 pounds of thrust or less. The “clean pad” design and basic infrastructure of Launch Complex 48 offers greater flexibility for small-class vehicle with rockets possessing varying needs.
