STS-132 tHE LAST LAUNCH OF SPACE SHUTTLE ATLANTIS

The tour includes roundtrip transportation from your Orlando-area hotel to Kennedy Space Center, KSC Admission Ticket to Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and Launch Viewing Ticket for the special NASA Causeway viewing site.

This tour is classed as a VIP tour as you get to view the space shuttle from the closest possible location without being a member of Astronaut Family or NASA invited press. The does not allow front of the line access or any special treatment by KSC staff beyond the confines of a fantastic view of the space shuttle launch. 6 miles is very close allowing you to see the liftoff and feel the powerful rumble of the shuttles massive engines.

The view is across a beautiful natural waterfront area in so you'll definitely want your camera or binoculars!

Collapsible umbrella-style chairs and blankets can be brought along but no folding sun chairs are permitted. It is an open causeway area with no seating but it is the best view on property.

There will be a launch countdown on the public address system.

There is no refund should the launch be scrubbed on the day of the tour. This tour may be canceled with full refund if the launch is canceled 72 prior to the set launch day; however there are no refunds for cancellations within 72 hours.

For the launch day there will be no standard access tickets allowed on Kennedy Space Center property and there will also be no onsite ticket sales, the only way people will get to view the launch is with the pre-booked programs.

You will have a KSC admission badge included in order to enter to clear security.

This is a fantastic opportunity to be within a limited number of people who will have this opportunity.

The KSC admission badge is a 2-day ticket and can be used for a 2nd day admission to the space center within 7 days of the first admission (transportation fees would apply) to see further aspects of the space center. For launch tickets the first admission MUST be launch day. - IMAX movies and bus tours may not be available on launch day - therefore we would recommend you plan using the 2nd day of access of your ticket if you are unable to see them launch day.

Be aware that security at the Visitor Complex entrance will be thorough. All bags will be checked and no questionable items will be permitted. This includes any pocketknives, mace/pepper spray, scissors, box cutters or anything the guests may have in their possession that could be construed as a weapon. Hard Sided Cool boxes are not allowed to be brought into KSC.

The checking of bags takes time so you are encouraged to limit the items you carry whenever possible in order to minimize your wait time.

No Items will be allowed to be left on the buses and storage at KSC is not available.
