  • NASA selects SpaceX bid for historic Pad 39A (Apollo, Shuttle)

    NASA has announced they are negotiating with SpaceX for the rights to use the historic Pad 39A launch complex. This was where Apollo 11 left for the Moon. It was also used for many Shuttle missions, including the last Shuttle flight in 2011.

    SpaceX will likely modify it for Falcon 9 v1.1 and Falcon Heavy NASA missions to the ISS, deep space and Commercial Crew. Later 39A will likely be used for their coming Super-heavy methane fueled booster. Their current LC-40 pad will likely be used for commercial cargo.

    SpaceX os also negotiating with the USAF, NASA and the FAA for reusable booster landing pads for both Falcon 9 v1.1 and Falcon Heavy.
