Abstract

The complex was constructed between 1950 and 1953, and was used throughout the 1950s including for the Bumper, Matador, Bomarc, Lark, X-17, Polaris FTV, and Redstone missile programs. Launch Complex 3 and 4 was considered to be technologically advanced for its time, and the facilities would later be modified for medical support area for the Mercury Project. The historic launch complexes at Cape Canaveral are being recorded using 3D and imaging technologies and a GIS survey approach as part of a historic preservation and documentation program partnership with University of South Florida researchers and the US Space Force.
