Cape Canaveral LC40
Part of Cape Canaveral
Titan launch complex. Constructed as part of the Titan Integrate-Transfer-Launch (ITL) facility at the north end of Cape Canaveral in the early 1960s. Supported a wide variety of military space missions involving Titan IIIC, Titan 34D and Titan IV vehicles.

First Launch: 1965-06-18. Last Launch: 2014-08-05. Number: 66 . Longitude: -80.58 deg. Latitude: 28.56 deg.

Complexes 40 and 41 were constructed as part of a $39 million project to build an Integrate-Transfer-Launch (ITL) facility at the north end of Cape Canaveral in the early 1960s. Both complexes were originally designed to support Titan IIIC space missions, which began from Complex 40 on 18 June 1965. Over the next three decades, the complexes supported a wide variety of military space missions involving Titan IIIC, Titan 34D and Titan IV vehicles. Between June 1990 and June 1993, Complex 40 was almost completely rebuilt under a $425 million renovation project. Complex 40 supported its first Titan IV/Centaur launch on 7 February 1994. By the end of October 1998, the complexes had supported a total of 72 Titan IIIC, Titan IIIE, Titan 34D and Titan IV missions.
