But There Is Only One Launch Site That Is Suitable for Public Viewing The Cape Canaveral Spaceport!
The Cape Has Many Advantages That No Other Site Can Offer • Easy Access • Good Geographical Layout • Good Weather • Visitor Friendly • Proximity to Other Tourist Attractions • Both Manned and Unmanned Launches
But We Don’t Use Our Huge Advantages Very Effectively • It’s Not Easy to Find Out About Launch Activity • Real Time Information Is Inadequate • Visitors Don’t Get The Sensation That They Are At The World’s Foremost Launch Base • If We Could Address These Deficiencies: • Visitors Might Stay Here Longer • More Visitors Might Come to View Launches • Related Problems Would Be Reduced
Related Problems • Traffic: Where do they go and how to they get there? • Security: Where to stay away from and when to stay away? • Safety: Where are the people congregated and how do we communicate with them if required? • How to Support Launch Customers • Provide a Better Environment • Provide Better Information Availability • Display an Attitude of “We are glad you are here”
How Do We Do This? • Electronic Signs With Launch Schedules • Low Power AM/FM Radio Broadcasts • Use of Existing and Planned NOAA, AWOS, and ATIS Transmitters • Countdown Clocks in Stores and Hotels • TV Links to Hotel Systems • A Dedicated Launch Information System
Launch Information System AWIS ATIS Dedicated Terminal NWS 162.55 Low Power AM/FM Signs Marine VHF
And most importantly…. Develop a Whole New Community Attitude! • Encourage better coordination between our two top industries • Recognize launch viewing potential in government and industry planning
What next? • First, accomplish an analysis • Select best viewing sites • Design required information systems • Identify opportunities • Develop a plan • Then, implement the plan • Build information systems • Advertise!
