Launch Complexes |
|
This table lists launch complexes and launch pads for which records have been found. Not all complexes and pads on record were ever built and some launches on the Cape are known to have taken place on prepared areas which never received a complex or pad designation. The terms "Launch Complex" and "Pad" are used here for standardization although accepted usage of terms has changed over time. Terms such as "Complex (CX)" and "Vertical Launch Complex" have been used in the past. The term in use at the Cape today is "Space Launch Complex" abbreviated "SLC" and pronounced "slick." The term "Launch Facility" has crept into the vocabulary on occasion, but has not come into common usage. Complicating the issue is the conversational practice among some Cape workers of interchangeably using "complex" and "pad" especially in the case of complexes with a single pad. For instance, Mercury-Atlas launches could be described as having been launched from Complex 14 or Pad 14. * Launch complex or pad planned but never built |
