About the abandoned location
Located at the historical Space Launch Complex 2, the operations control building is one of the many buildings at this abandoned launch complex. While I was at this historical launch site, I was only able to capture a few images inside the one building. Launch Complex 2 saw its first launch in 1954 with a Snark missile and eventually launched 15 missiles over a 6 year period with the last launch on April 6th, 1960. After the Snark Missile program ended, this site was used as a helicopter pad during the Mercury Program. The last time this site was used was in the 80s as a tethered aerostat balloon radar missions site. View more abandoned launch pads such as launch complex 17, launch complex 34 or launch complex 16 that were photographed in 360-degree spherical imagery.
