A Cultural Resources Assessment Survey for the New Space X Hangar Complex, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Brevard County, Florida

Author(s): Thomas E. Penders

Year: 2013

Summary

SpaceX obtained approval and modified existing LC-40 at CCAFS in Florida. The successful inaugural launch of the Falcon 9 from LC-40 occurred on June 4, 2010. SpaceX's future plans include launching a "heavy" vehicle from LC-40. In order to accommodate the new vehicle, expansion of the launch complex is required. Jn support of the proposed expansion to LC-40 the 45 SW CRM conducted a cultural resources assessment survey of the project area. The survey was conducted in June through August 2013. The proposed expansion includes the construction of a new integration facility east of the existing launch pad. The proposed facility is located in an area that has been heavily disturbed. Historical research and subsequent field investigation found no cultural remains or features within the proposed construction area.
