Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex has announced the opportunity for visitors to reserve a Feel the Heat launch viewing package for the upcoming SpaceX Falcon Heavy EchoStar JUPITER 3 mission at the Apollo/Saturn V Center, the closest available public viewing experience for this highly anticipated launch.

The Falcon Heavy rocket will blast off from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center, carrying the EchoStar JUPITER 3 broadband communication satellite. This advanced satellite will revolutionize in-flight Wi-Fi, maritime connections, enterprise networks, backhaul for mobile network operators, and community Wi-Fi solutions across the Americas.

The Feel the Heat launch viewing package is priced at $250 and includes a range of exclusive benefits and experiences for visitors. These include a two-day admission pass (with the second use valid within 30 days after the launch), a commemorative launch card, badge, and lanyard, a complimentary premium souvenir, and a delicious complimentary meal. In addition, guests will have access to a live launch video and audio feed, accompanied by insightful commentary from a space-expert communicator. Bus transportation will take guests through NASA's gates to the Apollo/Saturn V Center, and attendees will receive a digital photo of their party courtesy of AstroPhotos.

It is important to note that ticket packages are sold specifically for the Falcon Heavy EchoStar JUPITER 3 mission and not for a specific launch date. SpaceX has not yet announced an official launch date or time; however, bookings are now open for visitors to secure their spots. The launch may occur outside the regular business hours of the visitor complex, heightening the exclusivity of the Feel the Heat launch viewing packages.

Please note that launch packages are non-transferable to other missions, and be aware that launches are subject to change or be delayed due to weather conditions or technical issues. The SpaceX Falcon Heavy EchoStar JUPITER 3 mission may be scheduled any day of the week, at any time of day or night. Therefore, it is advisable to plan accordingly. 

Additionally, the Feel the Heat launch viewing packages are non-refundable, underscoring the exclusivity and demand for this unique experience.
