Cape Canaveral LC36B
Part of Cape Canaveral
Atlas V, Atlas launch complex. Atlas Centaur launch pad, in service from 1964 until the retirement of the launch vehicle.

First Launch: 1965-08-11. Last Launch: 2005-02-03. Number: 76 . Longitude: -80.54 deg. Latitude: 28.47 deg.

A second pad (36B) was constructed at LC36 between February 1963 and July 1964. Complex 36 hosted many historic Surveyor, Mariner, Pioneer and Intelsat IV and V missions over the years. Under NASA's sponsorship, Complex 36 supported its first Fleet Satellite Communications (Fltsatcom) launch on 9 February 1978. Six more Fltsatcom missions were launched from the complex over the next decade. Following the Fltsatcom F-8 mission in late September 1989, NASA surrendered Complex 36 to the Air Force and General Dynamics for military and commercial space operations. The site was modified to handled Atlas/Centaur missions, and the first commercial Atlas II/Centaur was launched from Pad 36B on 7 December 1991. In all, the complex supported 118 major launches between 8 May 1962 and the end of October 1998.
