Since the dawn of space flight, John F. Kennedy Space Center has been at the forefront of America's ongoing adventure in space. From here, NASA has launched heroic astronauts and cutting-edge spacecraft on bold missions to Earth orbit, the moon and the universe beyond.

Established as NASA's Launch Operations Center on July 1, 1962, the center was renamed in honor of the nation's 35th president following his death. His vision to land astronauts on the moon within that decade inspired and challenged the agency. Today, as NASA begins a new era in exploration, that spirit continues to guide the center to new heights.
