Amazing Sunrise over the famous Launch Complex 14 (LC-14) on the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station
Launch Complex 14 was one of my favorite places to visit and capture the sunrise my way to work.The Launch Complex was responsible for multiple crewed and un-crewed Atlas Launches including John Glenn’s Friendship 7 launch in February of 1962.
The Blockhouse and entry area is now included on a Historic Tour offered by the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Center.
It fun to imagine all the history that has taken place from this historic Launch Complex. Enjoy the photos!
About the Author and Photographer: Alden Pitard has over 40 years experience working in the Aerospace Industry at Cape Canaveral, The Kennedy Space Center (KSC) and Boeing locations throughout the country. He has supported the Space Shuttle Program, International Space Station, 787 Dreamliner and most recently the Artemis Program. During his time at "The Cape" he photographed a majority of the Launch Sites at KSC and Cape Canaveral. As the Space Shuttle program was coming to a close in 2011, the author decided to bike to all the Launch Complexes he could and capture the Space Center and Cape Canaveral as it was - thus "Biking through Space Ruins".
