2. Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB): One of the largest buildings in the world by volume, used for stacking large rockets.
3. Visitor Complex: An area open to the public, featuring exhibits, tours, and attractions related to space exploration.
4. Launch Operations: KSC oversees the preparation, launch, and recovery of spacecraft, including current missions involving the Space Launch System (SLS) and commercial spacecraft.
5. Commercial Partnerships: KSC collaborates with private companies like SpaceX and Boeing to support commercial space missions.
The Kennedy Space Center continues to play a vital role in the future of space exploration, including missions to Mars and beyond.
