Kennedy Space Center Offering Viewing Packages for SpaceX Falcon Heavy USSF-44 Launch
Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is giving guests the chance to look up to see the launch of the SpaceX Falcon Heavy USSF-44 on November 1, 2022 from some of the closest public launch viewings offered and more. The experience will be even more special with launch viewing packages that include real-time expert launch commentary, commemorative souvenirs, and exciting activities.
With a window of 9:40 – 10:11 a.m. ET, guests will be in awe as SpaceX Falcon Heavy will launch the USSF-44 mission for the U.S. Space Force. 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 amp up 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 can 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 the following link: www.kennedyspacecenter.com or by calling 855-737-5235. The limited-availability packages will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis.
