Crew Dragon Flights Keep Astronauts Launching From Florida Soil

Kennedy Space Center, FL — Astronauts still walk out of the Neil A. Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building, wave to families, and ride to Launch Complex 39A for SpaceX Crew Dragon missions — a scene that has become the new normal for Florida human spaceflight.

Commercial Crew on the Space Coast

• Regular crew rotations to the International Space Station
• Falcon 9 + Dragon launching from historic Pad 39A
• Public viewing opportunities and NASA TV coverage for every attempt

Crew launches are among the most emotional events on the Space Coast. Hotels from Titusville to Cocoa Beach book early. If you’re visiting Florida, set launch alerts and build a flexible day — scrubs are part of the adventure.
