Kennedy Space Center is set to host at least four launches between March and June 2024, according to the U.S. Space Force. The schedule includes two SpaceX missions, one NASA test flight, and a commercial satellite deployment by Rocket Lab. The first launch, a SpaceX Falcon 9 carrying Starlink satellites, is tentatively planned for March 15 from Launch Complex 39A. Weather conditions and technical checks could delay the date. NASA’s uncrewed Artemis test flight is scheduled for May 20, pending final safety reviews. The Space Coast’s tourism office reported a 25% increase in launch viewing visitors compared to last year. Local businesses near the space center have expanded parking and viewing areas to accommodate crowds. A Rocket Lab Electron rocket is expected to launch from Launch Complex 5 on April 12, carrying Earth imaging satellites for Planet Labs. The schedule reflects growing commercial activity at the spaceport, which handled 16 launches in 2023. Residents near the space center have received notices about potential sonic booms and temporary flight restrictions. The Florida Highway Patrol will increase patrols on State Road 405 near the spaceport during launch windows. The next public launch viewing event is scheduled for March 10 at the Space Coast Visitor Center.
