Abstract

This structure is part of Launch Complex 26 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Brevard County, Florida. This historic complex has served two primary functions – as a launch facility and as a museum. The LC-26 site was associated with the Redstone research and development program and later the Jupiter program. Additionally, the first American satellite, Explorer I, was famously launched from LC-26 on January 31, 1958. The site was a dual-pad, single blockhouse complex constructed in 1957, and was also used for several launch missions involving primates that preceded human space exploration missions. The Facility 1275L structure was part of Pad B (see basemap). The complex is a significant cultural resource listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Modeled from terrestrial laser scanning data from our site-wide survey.
