A Cultural Resources Assessment Survey of the Jupiter Missile Crash Site (8BR2087), Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Brevard County, Florida

Author(s): Thomas E. Penders

Year: 2010

Summary

In February 2007, the 45 Space Wing Cultural Resources Manager ( 45 SW CRM) was conducting research on Land Management Unit 136 (LMU 136) for a future archaeological survey. In the course of that investigation information was uncovered regarding the crash site of a Jupiter missile within the proposed project area. It was decided to conduct an archaeological survey in an attempt to relocate and record the missile crash site due to it being 50 years old and possibly eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The project was conducted from 2007 to 2009 by the 45 Space Wing (45 SW).
