SpaceX has been approved for a five-year contract to launch its rockets from Launch Complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
Launch Complex 40 (LC-40) is located on Merritt Island, Cape Canaveral, Florida. It was previously used by the U.S. Air Force for Titan III and Titan IV launches and to send off the Mars Observer spacecraft and the Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn.
