The Space Coast
Welcome to the Space Coast!
For over 70 years, Brevard County has been the center for the space program for the United States. We’ve put humans into orbit, landed on the moon and sent spacecraft to the edge of our solar system from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and Kennedy Space Center.
The future is bright for the space program now that the area has turned into multi-user space port and that we are once again launching humans into orbit and soon, beyond from right here on the Space Coast!
We look forward to sharing information about the space program right here on Destination Brevard.
