Located on the east coast of Florida, KSC is adjacent to Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS).", "image": { "id": 2200, "name": "Cape Canaveral & KSC seen from orbit (STS-43)", "image_url": "https://thespacedevs-prod.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/images/cape_canaveral__image_20240918151615.jpg", "thumbnail_url": "https://thespacedevs-prod.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/images/cape_canaveral__image_thumbnail_20240918151616.jpeg", "credit": "NASA", "license": { "id": 4, "name": "NASA Image and Media Guidelines", "priority": 0, "link": "https://www.nasa.gov/nasa-brand-center/images-and-media/" }, "single_use": true, "variants": [] }, "map_image": "https://thespacedevs-prod.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/map_images/location_27_20200803142447.jpg", "longitude": -80.650833, "latitude": 28.524167, "timezone_name": "America/New_York", "total_launch_count": 263, "total_landing_count": 0 }, "longitude": -80.6945, "latitude": 28.615, "image": { "id": 1974, "name": "Shuttle Landing Facility", "image_url": "https://thespacedevs-prod.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/images/shuttle_landing_image_20240310170702.jpg", "thumbnail_url": "https://thespacedevs-prod.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/images/shuttle_landing_image_thumbnail_20240310170703.jpeg", "credit": "NASA/Kim Shiflett", "license": { "id": 4, "name": "NASA Image and Media Guidelines", "priority": 0, "link": "https://www.nasa.gov/nasa-brand-center/images-and-media/" }, "single_use": true, "variants": [] }, "successful_landings": 81, "attempted_landings": 82, "failed_landings": 1, "celestial_body": { "response_mode": "normal", "id": 1, "name": "Earth", "type": { "id": 1, "name": "Planet" }, "diameter": 12742000.0, "mass": 5.972168e+24, "gravity": 9.80655, "length_of_day": "1 00:00:00", "atmosphere": true, "image": { "id": 2040, "name": "Earth (Apollo 17)", "image_url": "https://thespacedevs-prod.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/images/earth_2528apol_image_20240402194304.jpeg", "thumbnail_url": "https://thespacedevs-prod.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/images/earth_2528apol_image_thumbnail_20240402194305.jpeg", "credit": "NASA", "license": { "id": 4, "name": "NASA Image and Media Guidelines", "priority": 0, "link": "https://www.nasa.gov/nasa-brand-center/images-and-media/" }, "single_use": true, "variants": [] }, "description": "Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to harbor life.", "wiki_url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth" } }, "type": { "id": 6, "name": "Horizontal Landing", "abbrev": "HL", "description": "Horizontal landing on a runway or flat surface." } }, "duration": "P7DT23H15M55S", "turn_around_time": "P151DT5H20M", "response_mode": "normal" } ], "spacewalks": [ { "response_mode": "list", "id": 137, "url": "https://ll.thespacedevs.com/2.3.0/spacewalks/137/?format=api", "name": "STS-41-B EVA 2", "start": "1984-02-09T10:24:00Z", "end": "1984-02-09T16:41:00Z", "duration": "PT6H17M", "location": "Low Earth Orbit", "crew": [ { "id": 4041, "role": { "id": 33, "role": "EV1", "priority": 0 }, "astronaut": { "id": 312, "url": "https://ll.thespacedevs.com/2.3.0/astronauts/312/?format=api", "name": "Bruce McCandless II", "status": { "id": 11, "name": "Deceased" }, "agency": { "response_mode": "list", "id": 44, "url": "https://ll.thespacedevs.com/2.3.0/agencies/44/?format=api", "name": "National Aeronautics and Space Administration", "abbrev": "NASA", "type": { "id": 1, "name": "Government" } }, "image": { "id": 295, "name": "[AUTO] Bruce McCandless II - image", "image_url": "https://thespacedevs-prod.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/images/bruce2520mccandless2520ii_image_20181202091749.jpg", "thumbnail_url": "https://thespacedevs-prod.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/images/255bauto255d__image_thumbnail_20240305185449.jpeg", "credit": null, "license": { "id": 1, "name": "Unknown", "priority": 9, "link": null }, "single_use": true, "variants": [] }, "response_mode": "list", "type": { "id": 2, "name": "Government" }, "in_space": false, "time_in_space": "P13DT31M4S", "eva_time": "PT12H12M", "age": 80, "date_of_birth": "1937-06-08", "date_of_death": "2017-12-21", "nationality": [ { "id": 2, "name": "United States of America", "alpha_2_code": "US", "alpha_3_code": "USA", "nationality_name": "American", "nationality_name_composed": "Americano" } ], "bio": "Bruce McCandless II was a U.S. naval officer and aviator, electrical engineer, and NASA astronaut.
