New Releases

Holidays in Space and new Kennedy Space Center Club Discovery available beginning

this month

In an ongoing mission to bring the epic story of the U.S. space program to life, Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex today announced a new attraction. Slated to open in March 2022, Gateway: The Deep Space Launch Complex, will focus on the present and future of collaborative space exploration, enabling guests to experience the interstellar travel of tomorrow while celebrating what is happening right now within the space program.

The Veterans Day special offer is back at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. To honor veterans over Veterans Day weekend, U.S. service members will receive complimentary admission to the visitor complex.

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 15 from Kennedy Space Center’s iconic Launch Complex 39A.

NASA’s Artemis missions will return humans to the Moon using innovative technologies to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before! Beginning July 19, Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex will offer the next generation of space explorers the chance to take their own “giant leap” with special programs and events designed to celebrate and elevate Artemis missions.

If the suit makes the man, then the spacesuit most certainly makes the astronaut! NASA Astronauts Douglas Hurley and Robert Behnken made history on May 31, 2020 by becoming the first NASA crew to launch from U.S. soil in almost a decade. And they did it in style, wearing next-generation spacesuits designed by a billionaire and a Hollywood designer. Beginning July 1, 2021, guests of Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex will get a first look at the hi-tech launch and re-entry spacesuits in a special, limited-time exhibit.  

Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex guests will once again “feel the heat” when the United Launch Alliance Atlas V CST-100 Starliner Orbital Flight Test 2 (OFT-2) soars toward the stratosphere on Friday, July 30 at approximately 2:53 p.m. EDT. Special viewing packages will include the popular Feel the Fun (Atlantis North Lawn) and Feel the Heat (Apollo/Saturn V Center).*

The universe of opportunities to learn about the past, present and future of space exploration is about to expand at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, as it enters the next phase of reopening to the public since the COVID-19 pandemic.
