Important Note for LC-39 Ticket Holders:

•  SpaceX has announced they will attempt to launch a Falcon Heavy rocket from LC-39A the same evening as this launch. Therefore, the LC-39 Observation Gantry is now inaccessible due to its proximity to that launch pad.
• Those with an LC-39 Launch Transportation Ticket will instead be transported to the Apollo/Saturn V Center where they have the opportunity to watch both launch attempts!
• Bus boarding begins at 4:00 PM at the main Bus Tour boarding area. Have your LC-39 ticket ready to show visitor complex staff.
• Included food, beverage and souvenirs will be available at this new location.

 
The Atlantis North Lawn will remain open for both launches to anyone with admission.
