Florida is the launch capital of the United States and one of the most important aerospace states in the nation. Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, and a booming commercial space corridor have made Florida the global epicenter of rocket launch, creating thousands of new aerospace career opportunities.
From historic NASA launch pads to the newest commercial rocket companies, Florida's Space Coast is the most active launch corridor on the planet.
