What should I bring with me?
The launch viewing area is an open field that is standing room
only. You are free to bring blankets and compact “umbrella-style”
folding chairs that are carried in shoulder bags, but flat folding
chairs, lawn chairs and large beach umbrellas are not permitted.
Regular hand-held umbrellas and umbrella-style strollers are
permitted. For summer launches, you should bring insect repellant,
sunglasses and sunscreen. Don’t forget your camera; a shuttle launch
is the ultimate photo opportunity. The viewing area is six miles
away from the shuttle launch pad. Some people bring binoculars,
telescopes and tripods, cameras and long-range lenses. Because
sound travels slower than light, you will see the shuttle launch
before you hear it, so watch!
Expect
heavy traffic on launch day. Plan extra travel time.
The following items are not permitted on
property.
Hard-side coolers (soft-sided coolers are
permitted)
Fire arms of any type (with or without a permit)
Ammunition (live or spent)
Pepper/mace sprays
Knives (small pocket knives and nail files are permitted)
Box cutters or like items
Nail clippers with knife blades
Laser pointers
Large beach type umbrellas
On property cooking or grilling
Any other sharp/pointed items, including pointed scissors or nail
files
Luggage or other large bags are not permitted through the front
gate.
All bags, purses and other items will be opened and thoroughly
inspected at the Visitor Complex. (Procedures to search all bags
carried into the complex by visitors & employees are actions taken
as part of the increase in security and not part of a specific
threat to our facilities.)
Lawn or folding chairs (blankets and “umbrella-style” folding chairs
that are carried in shoulder bags, are permitted)
Due to security restrictions, no items can be left on our vehicles
for any reason, please be prepared to carry anything you bring with
you for the duration of your entire Kennedy Space Center visit.
