Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (historical name)

Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, now part of Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, is a key site for space launches in Florida. Established during the early years of the U.S. space program, it has been the launch point for many historic missions, including those of NASA's Apollo, Mercury, and Space Shuttle programs. The station is strategically located on the east coast, allowing rockets to safely enter orbit over the ocean. Today, it continues to support both government and commercial space missions, playing a crucial role in advancing space exploration and satellite deployment.
