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.
