STS-133 Discovery
We will have tours available to view the launch however we are awaiting the GREEN LIGHT from Kennedy Space Center to allow us to sell this - this will be after all the oppurtunities to purchase tickets directly from KSC are finalised! To keep up to date on the latest launch details and to be first to know when our tickets are going on sale you can "LIKE" us on FaceBook, follow us on Twitter or join our email newsletter on the bottom of our homepage! This is our closest view possible for the launch of Space Shuttle! 6 Miles.
The tour includes roundtrip transportation from your Orlando / Titusville pick up location to Kennedy Space Center (from list), KSC Admission Ticket to Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and Launch Viewing Ticket for the special NASA Causeway viewing site.
This is the Ultimate Package for any space buff and guarantees the closest view possible for a member of the public - the NASA Causeway; only NASA officials, press and invited dignitaries are allowed closer. You will be able to see the Space Shuttle on the launch pad from only 6 miles away! This is very close allowing you to see the liftoff and feel the powerful rumble of the shuttles massive engines.
The view is across a beautiful natural waterfront area in so you'll definitely want your camera or binoculars!
Collapsible umbrella-style chairs and blankets can be brought along but no folding sun chairs are permitted. It is an open causeway area with no seating but it is the best view on property.
There will be a launch countdown on the public address system.
There is no refund should the launch be scrubbed on the day of the tour. This tour may be canceled with full refund if the launch is canceled 72 prior to the set launch day; however there are no refunds for cancellations within 72 hours.
For the launch day there will be no standard access tickets allowed on Kennedy Space Center property and there will also be no onsite ticket sales, the only way people will get to view the launch is with the pre-booked programs.
You will have a KSC admission badge so take advantage of the time in KSC to see the exhibits, IMAX movies or visit the space shop.
This is a fantastic opportunity to be within a limited number of people who will have this opportunity. This is a long day so we don’t recommend it for small children.
The KSC admission badge is a 2-day ticket and can be used on the consecutive day (transportation fees would apply) to see further aspects of the space center - IMAX movies and bus tours may not be available on launch day - therefore we would recommend you plan using the 2nd day of access of your ticket if you are unable to see them launch day.
Be aware that security at the Visitor Complex entrance will be thorough. All bags will be checked and no questionable items will be permitted. This includes any pocketknives, mace/pepper spray, scissors, box cutters or anything the guests may have in their possession that could be construed as a weapon.
The checking of bags takes time so you are encouraged to limit the items you carry whenever possible in order to minimize your wait time.
No Items will be allowed to be left on the buses and storage at KSC is not available.
