New Releases

Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is leading a new initiative aimed at challenging high school students and educators to design and manufacture components of ground and aerial robots that would potentially be used for Mars exploration missions. 

Each year, more than 1 million guests from around the world experience their very own space adventure by exploring the exciting past, present and future of America’s space program at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. In addition to the many attractions included with admission, behind-the-scenes tours and special programs offer even more engagement experiences. 


 

There’s nothing quite like exploring the world through the eyes of a 4-year-old. That’s what inspired photographer and father Aaron Sheldon to start Small Steps are Giant Leaps, capturing his son Harrison experiencing the everyday world, dressed in an astronaut suit. That same spirit of exploration is brought to life at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex where Harrison was invited to have a special space experience. 

Spend an evening with the stars at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and observe the Perseid meteor shower that will peak on Friday, August 12.

The way heroes are defined in the 21^st Century is a focus of the new Heroes & Legends featuring the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame^® attraction, scheduled to open at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex on November 11, 2016.  In a never-done-before initiative designed to more fully engage the visitor in their experience, the public is being asked to submit a video about a hero that has inspired them. Select video submissions will be featured alongside NASA’s most famous astronauts and celebrity ambassadors.
