About this picture

Cape Canaveral AFS Launch Complex 11 ( LC-11 ) is a launch pad at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on Merritt Island , Cape Canaveral , Florida , USA . It was from the late 1950s until the mid-1960s to start for testing and development flights of the Atlas - ICBM used.

In 1967 the LC-11 was officially decommissioned together with the sibling launch ramps LC-12 and LC-14 .

In 2015, Blue Origin rented the site, along with the neighboring LC-36 . A test rig for the engines of the new New Glenn launch vehicle is now being built there .
