Visit to Kennedy Space Center, See a Space Shuttle Launch
Want to See a Space Shuttle Launch - Better Hurry, Only Five Missions to Go

Want to See a Space Shuttle Launch - Better Hurry, Only Five Missions to Go   by Kirby Collins

If you haven't seen the Space Shuttle launch before, then you shouldn't wait any longer. NASA has been ordered to end the Space Shuttle program, thus the next five missions for the Space Shuttle teams will be their last, making it the priority of sub contractors and other third party space exploration companies to find a new way to shuttle people back and forth to and from the International Space Station.

Located in Cape Canaveral, the Kennedy Space Center is the epicenter for everything related to space travel and exploration. From there will be your best viewing locations to watch one of the last 5 Space Shuttle Launches over this year. Other locations best suited to watch a launch in Brevard Country, FL, include Titusville, the southern area of Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach and Merritt Island. Many of these locations have parks, restaurants and/or piers/docks to view the launch from afar.

The last five Space Shuttle missions will all have a priority of the continued assembly of the International Space Station; each mission will be marked with a prefix of STS and the mission number will range from 130 to 134. Only three Shuttles will take place in these missions, Endeavor and Discovery each taking part in two missions each, while the Atlantis only has a single mission.

Launch dates change frequently, be sure to check the Cape Canaveral Launch Schedule for launch updates and information.
