Fans have the opportunity to watch the historic SpaceX Inspiration4 Launch at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex with a special package to see the world’s first all-civilian mission to orbit as it launches from Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39A.
What’s Happening:
- Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex will offer a “Feel the Heat” special package for the upcoming Inspiration4 launch.
- A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch a Crew Dragon spacecraft for this first-ever all-private, all-civilian orbital mission targeting no earlier than September 15th from Kennedy Space Center’s iconic Launch Complex 39A.
- The Inspiration4 mission is organized to raise money and awareness for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and will travel across a low-Earth orbit on a multi-day journey that will continually eclipse more than 90 percent of Earth’s population.
- The mission is commanded by billionaire Jared Isaacman, who will be joined by scientist and educator Sian Proctor, medical officer Hayley Arceneaux and mission specialist Christopher Sembroski.
- Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex offers some of the closest public viewing of launches with distinctive experiences like live launch commentary from space experts and access to select exhibits and attractions prior to the launch.
- Those who purchase the “Feel the Heat” package will be able to watch the launch from Banana Creek at Apollo/Saturn V Center, four miles from Launch Complex 39A for $250 per person.
- The Package includes:
- Ticket packages are sold for the specific mission and not for a specific date. Packages can be booked via the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex website or by calling 855-737-5235. The limited-availability packages will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis.
- All launch viewing packages are mission specific and only valid on the date of the launch. Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex will not have viewing available for daily admission ticket holders and this launch is a blackout date for annual passes. Only guests who have valid launch package tickets will be able to access the visitor complex on the day of the launch.
- In accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) recommendations, the visitor complex continues to operate at a limited attendance, accommodating social distancing, encouraging advance daily admission purchases, and implementing increased frequency of sanitization and disinfection. Due to the recent increase of COVID-19 cases and the Delta variant, the visitor complex has updated the face mask policy. All guests, including those vaccinated against COVID-19, are required to wear face coverings in all indoor locations. This includes all attractions, attraction queues, show viewing areas, restaurants and buses. Guests who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 are not required to wear face coverings outdoors.
