Junior Reserve Officer's Training Corps & Civil Air Patrol Visit Request Form

This form is only for Junior ROTC and Civil Air Patrol groups.

Thank you for your interest in visiting Space Launch Delta 45 at Patrick Space Force Base and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida. The World's Premier Gateway to Space. Patrick Space Force Base and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station are both home to the Space Launch Delta 45 and their locations are geographically separated by approximately 15 miles. In between the installations is the city of Cocoa Beach, which is a heavily populated tourist area. In which case, visiting both locations is rare due to time constraints.  

IMPORTANT:  JrROTC and CAP instructors are responsible for the majority of tour planning at Patrick SFB. As an alternative, contact our mission partners at the Kennedy Space Center at https://www.kennedyspacecenter.com/ or call 855-433-4210 to request a tour.
