Kennedy Space Center Florida lets you get close to the NASA space program and to see at first hand the launch sites and vehicle assembly buildings for the Space Shuttle and Delta rocket missions. Book our vacation home and have the perfect base for you to visit the space center. Visit the Saturn V building and see the rocket which powered the moon landings and was NASA's method of space exploration for a generation. When you view the Apollo Saturn V, you can also buy space memorabilia in the space shop.

Learn about the international Space Station and see work being carried out on its components and assembly.

If you time your visit carefully you can visit Kennedy Space Center and view a Space Shuttle or Delta rocket launch. From nearby Cocoa Beach see a live launch across the Florida waters. One of the best places to view a Space Shuttle take off or rocket launch is Jetty Park which is close to Ron Johns surf shop on the A1 at Cocoa Beach. There you can walk out onto the long wooden jetty and and view the launch straight across the water. At night, the rocket is floodlit and makes an impressive sight as it sits on the launch pad. Jetty Park (321) 783-7111 is at Port Canaveral, on the Atlantic Ocean just south of the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station border. Both Space Shuttle and expendable launch vehicle liftoffs can be viewed from here. The park is open all day year-round.

When you are planning your holiday in Florida, don't book a villa without checking the NASA Space Center Launch Schedule. You can also call (321) 867-4636 or 1-877-893-NASA (6272) . This NASA recording provides details on space shuttle flight schedules. NOTE - the schedule can change so don't base your holidy totally on it! A variety of vehicles such as the Space Shuttle, Atlas and Delta rockets are launched throughout the year. You can watch their launch from a number of venues around Cocoa Beach. We have found Jetty Park especially good.
