Cape Canaveral Space Force Museum
The Cape Canaveral Space Force Museum has been open since 1966, located at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, and preserves both the hardware and the spirit of United States’ ventures into space.
The museum displays numerous missiles, rockets and related space flight equipment and memorabilia while highlighting the Space Force as a major participant in America’s space program and emphasizes activities at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station beginning in early 1950 and continuing today.
Tours and gift shop operations are provided by a group of dedicated volunteers. The United States Space Force Historical Foundation, Inc. provides funding for exhibit maintenance and museum operations. Management for the entire museum operation is the responsibility of the Museum Director, a civilian employee of Space Launch Delta 45.
You may have heard of the US Space Force – the newest military branch – but what does that have to do with the Cape Canaveral Space Force Museum?
Not only does the museum preserve military history when it comes to missile testing and space exploration, but it is located on Cape Canaveral Space Force Station with some facilities on Patrick Space Force Base, an active military base where Space Launch Delta 45 – a delta of the Space Force – operates and oversees all East Coast launch operations.
