Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex will offer a “Feel the Heat” special package for the upcoming Inspiration4 launch. A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch a Crew Dragon spacecraft for this first-ever all-private, all-civilian orbital mission targeting no earlier than September 15 from Kennedy Space Center’s iconic Launch Complex 39A.
The Inspiration4 mission is organized to raise money and awareness for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and will travel across a low-Earth orbit on a multi-day journey that will continually eclipse more than 90 percent of Earth’s population. The mission is commanded by billionaire Jared Isaacman, who will be joined by scientist and educator Sian Proctor, medical officer Hayley Arceneaux and mission specialist Christopher Sembroski.
Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex offers some of the closest public viewing of launches with distinctive experiences like live launch commentary from space experts and access to select exhibits and attractions prior to the launch.
