The Kennedy Space Center (KSC) was founded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in 1958. It is named after President John F. Kennedy, who made the goal of landing humans on the Moon a national priority during his presidency. The KSC was established as a NASA field center to support the agency’s human spaceflight programs, including the Apollo program, which successfully landed humans on the Moon in 1969. The KSC is located on Merritt Island, Florida, and has been the primary launch site for NASA’s human spaceflight programs, including the Space Shuttle and the Artemis program.
