  • Cape Canaveral is a strip of land located in the state of Florida, United States of America on Earth. In the 20th and 21st centuries, many spacecraft were launched from the Kennedy Space Center. Elias Vaughn visited Cape Canaveral when he was a boy. Vaughn viewed Launch Complex 39 and a memorial to the crew of the Challenger who died aboard the space shuttle when it exploded in 1986. (DS9 - Mission Gamma novel: Twilight) By the late 23rd century, a museum had been established at the location of the Space Center. In 2293, a public memorial service for James T. Kirk were held around the famed Pad B of Launch Complex 39 of the center. (TOS - Crucible novel: The Fire and the Rose)

  • Cape Canaveral, from the Spanish Cabo Cañaveral, is a cape in Brevard County, Florida, United States, near the center of the state's Atlantic coast. Known as Cape Kennedy from 1963 to 1973, it lies east of Merritt Island, separated from it by the Banana River. It was discovered by the Spanish conquistador Juan Ponce de León in 1513. It is part of a region known as the Space Coast, and is the site of the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Since many U.S. spacecraft are launched from both the station and the Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island, the terms "Cape Canaveral," "Canaveral", or "the Cape" have become metonyms that refer to both as the launch site of spacecraft. In homage to its spacefaring heritage, the Florida Public Service Commission allocated area code 321 to the Cape Canaveral area. Other features of the cape include the Cape Canaveral lighthouse and Port Canaveral, one of the busiest cruise ports in the world. The city of Cape Canaveral lies just south of the Port Canaveral District. Mosquito Lagoon, the Indian River, Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge and Canaveral National Seashore are also features of this area.
