The John F. Kennedy Space Center KSC, originally known as the NASA Launch Operations Center, located on Merritt Island, Cape Canaveral, Florida, is one of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration`s ten field centers. Since December 1968, KSC has been NASA`s primary launch center of human spaceflight. Launch operations for the Apollo, Skylab and Space Shuttle programs were carried out from Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39 and managed by KSC.[3] Located on the east coast of Florida, KSC is adjacent to Cape Canaveral Air Force Station CCAFS. The management of the two entities work very closely together, share resources, and operate facilities on each other`s property.
