The iconic Launch Complex 39 gantry will be reimagined as 'The Gantry at LC-39', an interactive attraction within the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex's neighbouring Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge
The Kennedy Space Center Bus Tour will take guests to the transformed launch gantry, which offers a 360-degree view of the surrounding Space Center and its active launch pads.
Due to open early next year, The Gantry will include an Earth Information Centre (EIC), home to an immersive theatre show and digital displays and galleries; a Rocket Build Interactive to virtually build and launch rockets; a Launch Viewing Area to watch real rockets launch from Kennedy; several other interactive exhibits; and an outdoor dining area.
Therrin Protze, chief operating officer at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, said, "The Gantry at LC-39 is an exciting next step in our mission to inspire and educate the next generation of explorers.
"This new attraction brings the stories around NASA’s research to monitor our planet and innovative interactives to offer a deeper connection to the space programme through a unique and dramatic lens. This attraction will excite and educate all ages."
