The blockhouses for
launch complexes 31 and 32, used to hold equipment and engineers during launches, are the only of their kind in the world.
The Instrumentation and Antenna Field houses a variety of systems and equipment and is an integral part of the Kodiak
Launch Complex. It monitors the rocket during its flight to ensure it is on course while the Range Safety and Telemetry System determines the rocket trajectory and receives health and status information from the rocket and its payload.
Since 2002, several research groups have injected metallic nanoparticles into the ground at several contaminated test sites, including
Launch Complex 34.
Instead of commercial use, the Kodiak
Launch Complex began to serve the military, which has since become a significant part of its business.
In addition to the primary mission of NROL-76 to orbit, SpaceX is attempting the secondary mission of landing the first stage of the Falcon 9 rocket on land at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's Landing Zone 1, built on the former site of Space
Launch Complex 13, a US Air Force rocket and missile testing range.
The
launch complex 39A is historic, because it was the same launch pad from where Apollo 11 took off carrying the first men to have walked on the surface of moon.
WASHINGTON (CyHAN)- The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying NOAA's Deep Space Climate Observatory spacecraft, or DSCOVR, lifts off from Space
Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
According to reports, India's indigenously developed surface-to-surface ballistic missile 'Prithvi' was engaged as hostile vehicle from
launch complex number 3 of Integrated Test Range, ITR in Chandipore of Balasore district in Odisha at 10.13 this morning for the endo-atmospheric test of the interceptor.
Plans are moving forward for the first private-sector orbital launch at Kodiak
Launch Complex in September.
And as part of the prelaunch trials, the company successfully test-fired the rocket's thrusters Sunday at
launch complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
