Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Space Launch Complex 40〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Table 3 )〕 (SLC-40), previously Launch Complex 40 (LC-40) is a launch pad at the north end of Cape Canaveral, Florida. The launch pad was used by the United States Air Force for 55 Titan III and Titan IV launches between 1965 and 2005. After 2007, the US Air Force leased the complex to Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) to launch the Falcon 9 rocket.〔 The pad has been used for 13 Falcon 9 launches from 2010 through early 2015.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.spacex.com/missions#completed-missions-header )〕 == Titan == The first launch from LC-40 was the maiden flight of the Titan IIIC (June 18, 1965), carrying two transtage upper stages to test the functionality of the vehicle. Two interplanetary missions were launched from the pad: * The failed Mars Observer spacecraft (September 25, 1992) * The Cassini–Huygens mission to Saturn (October 15, 1997) A total of 30 Titan IIICs, 8 Titan 34Ds and 17 Titan IVs were launched between 1965 and 2005.〔 The final Titan launch from SLC-40 was the Lacrosse-5 reconnaissance satellite (Titan IV-B, April 30, 2005). The tower was disassembled during late 2007 and early 2008. Demolition of the Mobile Service Structure (MSS), by means of a controlled explosion, occurred on April 27, 2008, by Controlled Demolition, Inc. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Space Launch Complex 40」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
