NSS Florida Space Coast Chapter

Join Link to Launch on Monday, June 23 at 8:30 am Canaveral Port Authority Grounds

At the request of Florida Senator Bill Nelson, a United States Senate Sub-committee field hearing on Space is meeting in Brevard, at Port Canaveral, to discuss NASA’s future and funding. Right now, NASA survives on less than 1 percent of the Federal budget, while being tasked with tremendously important missions. Our message is clear: the space program is key to national security, American culture and our global economic competitiveness.

Florida’s Space Coast will Link to Launch outside as a Senate Subcommittee gathers inside the Canaveral Port Authority Building. We want to ensure leaders see our community as a snapshot of a nation that understands how critical space is to US security, culture and economic competitiveness.

Participants should be in place no later than 8:30am as the Link for Launch countdown clock starts at 9:00 am at T minus 30 seconds, with the crowd counting down to the “lift off”. Then the chain of people will raise their linked hands to space to be captured by photographers in elevated vantage points, including a helicopter circling the gathering.
