Cape Canaveral is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s main center for sending humans and their robotic surrogates beyond the Earth to explore the space. The Cape Canaveral Air Force Station is a place for many expendable rockets carrying civilian and military satellites into orbit around the Earth, as well as those sending robotic spacecraft out into the solar system to explore asteroids, comets and other planets and their moons.
