What are 3 advantages of using Cape Canaveral as a
launch site?
• Eastward launches over water provide a safe place for booster rockets and debris to fall in the ocean.
• It is close to the equator so the rocket needs less fuel to reach orbit than one launched near the poles.
• Nearby military bases provided good roads.
