Cape Canaveral LC39B
Part of Cape Canaveral
Shuttle, Saturn V, Saturn I launch complex. LC39A and LC39B, part of the Kennedy Space Center, were built on Merritt Island (north/northwest of the Cape) to support the Saturn V/Apollo lunar landing program in 1963-1966. The sites were modified in the last half of the 1970s to support the manned Space Shuttle program.

First Launch: 1969-05-18. Last Launch: 2009-10-28. Number: 59 . Longitude: -80.62 deg. Latitude: 28.63 deg.

Construction began in December 1963. Complex 39B was completed on 30 November 1966. Complex 39B was used for the manned Apollo 10 launch on 18 May 1969. Following modifications in the form of a 'milk stool' to bring the Saturn IB up to the same height as the Saturn V, Complex 39B supported three manned Saturn IB flights to the Skylab space station on 25 May, 28 July and 16 November 1973. The pad also supported the Apollo/Soyuz rendezvous mission launched on 15 July 1975. Both complexes were modified to support Space Shuttle missions later on. Complex 39B supported its first Shuttle launch on 28 January 1986.
