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": 278, "total_landing_count": 0 } }, { "id": 239, "url": "https://lldev.thespacedevs.com/2.3.0/pads/239/?format=api", "active": true, "agencies": [ { "response_mode": "normal", "id": 1044, "url": "https://lldev.thespacedevs.com/2.3.0/agencies/1044/?format=api", "name": "ArianeGroup", "abbrev": "AG", "type": { "id": 3, "name": "Commercial" }, "featured": false, "country": [ { "id": 1, "name": "France", "alpha_2_code": "FR", "alpha_3_code": "FRA", "nationality_name": "French", "nationality_name_composed": "Franco" } ], "description": "ArianeGroup (formerly Airbus Safran Launchers) is an aerospace company based in France.
