(Pottenger)
CAPE CANAVERAL, FLORIDA (city of CC)
28 N 24 80 W 36
Tip of Cape on coast is about 28 N 27' 30" & 80 W 31' 30" on map
EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, CALIFORNIA
34 N 54 117 W 52
Rogers Lake: approx. 34 N 49 to 35 N 0 by 117 W 47 to 117 W 55
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLORIDA
Coordinates read from USGS topographic maps by Mark Pottenger.
Seconds are uncertain because of size of launch complexes.
Note: Cape Canaveral was originally a missile testing base in the
50's. Some of the early complexes were erected to launch particular
missile types (in many cases, the winged missiles that dominated
US missile strategy before 1956), and then were torn down.
