Kennedy Space Center

 

The nearest airfield for Kennedy Space Center is Titusville – Space Coast Regional (TIX) which is approximately nine miles away.
Even if you have been to Kennedy Space Center in the last few years, I would recommend that you visit again because the entire complex has been substantially modernised. The previous tours have also been changed and new areas of the complex have been opened up to the public for the first time with a range of new exhibits.

Kennedy Space Center is open every day of the year from 9.00 am until dusk and admission is free. There is however a small charge for the bus tour and the IMAX films. Please note that on launch days, access to Kennedy Space Center may be restricted.

Please note that following the tragic events of 11 September many of the FAA requirements to obtain a Certificate based on the UK Licence have changed. Please check the FAA website for up-to-date guidance.
Unfortunately my book is now out of print with Seager Publishing and Flyer Magazine and I am currently working on a complete update to be published in due course. If you do find that any of the details in this guide are incorrect I would welcome your feedback to ensure that the next revision is as up to date as possible.
