The Space Coast is a region in the
U.S. state of
Florida around the
Kennedy Space Center (KSC) and
Cape Canaveral Space Force Station . It is one of several “themed” coasts around Florida. All of NASA-launched crewed spaceflights (running from
Project Mercury in 1961 to
and from the end of the
Space Shuttle program in 2011) have departed from either KSC or Cape Canaveral. The Space Force Station has also launched unmanned military and civilian rockets. Cities in the area include
Port St. John ,
Titusville ,
Cocoa ,
Rockledge ,
Cape Canaveral ,
Merritt Island (unincorporated),
