Located on the east coast of Florida, KSC is adjacent to Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS).", "image": { "id": 2200, "name": "Cape Canaveral & KSC seen from orbit (STS-43)", "image_url": "https://thespacedevs-dev.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/images/cape_canaveral__image_20240918151615.jpg", "thumbnail_url": "https://thespacedevs-dev.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/images/cape_canaveral__image_thumbnail_20240918151616.jpeg", "credit": "NASA", "license": { "id": 4, "name": "NASA Image and Media Guidelines", "priority": 0, "link": "https://www.nasa.gov/nasa-brand-center/images-and-media/" }, "single_use": true, "variants": [] }, "map_image": "https://thespacedevs-dev.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/map_images/location_27_20200803142447.jpg", "longitude": -80.650833, "latitude": 28.524167, "timezone_name": "America/New_York", "total_launch_count": 280, "total_landing_count": 0 } }, "webcast_live": false, "program": [], "orbital_launch_attempt_count": 7271, "location_launch_attempt_count": 281, "pad_launch_attempt_count": 222, "agency_launch_attempt_count": 667, "orbital_launch_attempt_count_year": 98, "location_launch_attempt_count_year": 2, "pad_launch_attempt_count_year": 1, "agency_launch_attempt_count_year": 48, "flightclub_url": null, "updates": [ { "id": 14230, "profile_image": "https://thespacedevs-dev.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/profile_images/lucas2520stauder_profile_20230526163835.jpg", "comment": "NET April", "info_url": "https://www.launchphotography.com/Launch_Viewing_Guide.html", "created_by": "hitura-nobad", "created_on": "2026-03-10T20:03:00Z" }, { "id": 12225, "profile_image": "https://thespacedevs-dev.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/profile_images/cosmic2520penguin_profile_20210817212020.png", "comment": "De-manifested from Ariane 6, new launch vehicle TBD.", "info_url": "https://spaceflightnow.com/2023/04/30/viasat-seeks-replacement-for-ariane-6-for-launch-of-third-viasat-3-satellite/", "created_by": "Cosmic_Penguin", "created_on": "2025-09-13T21:10:00Z" }, { "id": 13570, "profile_image": "https://thespacedevs-dev.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/profile_images/cosmic2520penguin_profile_20210817212020.png", "comment": "NET Q2 on Falcon Heavy.", "info_url": "https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=43418.msg2749521#msg2749521", "created_by": "Cosmic_Penguin", "created_on": "2026-01-09T17:38:00Z" }, { "id": 5394, "profile_image": "https://thespacedevs-dev.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/profile_images/arnaud2520muller_profile_20230607144351.jpg", "comment": "NET 2025", "info_url": "https://www.latribune.fr/entreprises-finance/industrie/aeronautique-defense/ariane-6-vers-un-premier-vol-en-avril-mai-2024-977533.html", "created_by": "Nosu", "created_on": "2023-10-12T15:06:39Z" } ], "info_urls": [], "vid_urls": [], "timeline": [], "pad_turnaround": "P133DT10H17M50S", "mission_patches": [] }
