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

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. 

IMPORTANT: Space Launch Delta 45 receives hundreds of tour requests annually and strive to accommodate as many as possible while balancing our active launch mission. We also prioritize equitable access and do our best to distribute tour opportunities fairly among those who request them. Due to high demand, we cannot guarantee all requests will be fulfilled. If Space Launch Delta 45 cannot accommodate your request, we encourage you to contact one of our mission partners listed under "Mission Partners and Tenant Unit Contacts," as they may also conduct tours.

Installation locations are geographically separated by approximately 15 miles; therefore, visiting both installations is rare due to time constraints.
