SpaceX launch facilities


As of February 2017SpaceX uses two leased orbital launch sites: Launch Complex 39 pad A of the Kennedy Space Center in Florida and Space Launch Complex 4E of the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Their prior launch pad Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station was damaged in the Amos-6 accident in September 2016 and is expected to be operational in August 2017. In addition, SpaceX uses a suborbital test facility, the SpaceX Rocket Development and Test Facility in Texas. A high-altitude suborbital test facility was under construction in New Mexico but was abandoned following the switch to flight tests on commercial missions.

SpaceX plans to launch Falcon Heavy flights beginning in 2017 and crewed space missions in 2018 from the Kennedy LC-39A facility. SpaceX is also building a commercial-only launch facility at the Boca Chica site near Brownsville, Texas, expected to be operational no earlier than late 2018.

SpaceX has indicated that they see a niche for each of the four orbital facilities currently in use or under construction, and that they have sufficient launch business to fill each pad, particularly so by the end of the decade if SpaceX business remains strong.
