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": 265, "total_landing_count": 0 } }, "webcast_live": false, "program": [ { "response_mode": "normal", "id": 6, "url": "https://ll.thespacedevs.com/2.3.0/programs/6/?format=api", "name": "Space Shuttle", "image": { "id": 1886, "name": "[AUTO] Space Shuttle - image", "image_url": "https://thespacedevs-prod.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/images/space2520shutt_program_20200820202237.png", "thumbnail_url": "https://thespacedevs-prod.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/images/255bauto255d__image_thumbnail_20240305194036.png", "credit": null, "license": { "id": 1, "name": "Unknown", "priority": 9, "link": null }, "single_use": true, "variants": [] }, "info_url": "https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/main/index.html", "wiki_url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_program", "description": "The Space Shuttle program was the fourth human spaceflight program carried out by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), which accomplished routine transportation for Earth-to-orbit crew and cargo from 1981 to 2011.", "agencies": [ { "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" } } ], "start_date": "1981-04-12T12:00:03Z", "end_date": "2011-07-08T15:29:00Z", "mission_patches": [], "type": { "id": 2, "name": "Human Spaceflight" } } ], "orbital_launch_attempt_count": 2883, "location_launch_attempt_count": 30, "pad_launch_attempt_count": 25, "agency_launch_attempt_count": 4, "orbital_launch_attempt_count_year": 108, "location_launch_attempt_count_year": 4, "pad_launch_attempt_count_year": 4, "agency_launch_attempt_count_year": 4 }, "duration": "P8DT5H23M", "turn_around_time": "P174DT21H25M", "response_mode": "normal" }, "payloadflight": null } ] }
