In 2011 I was able to bike to and around Space Launch Complex 11 before the Blockhouse was demolished in 2023. In June of 1967 the Pad and service tower structures sold for salvage so these have not been at the site for over 50 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Space Launch Complex was launch site for a total of 33 Atlas launches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a beautiful sunny day when I biked into and around the Launch Complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy these photos of the launch site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
