The station is the primary launch site for the Space Force's Eastern Range with four active launchpads. Close to the launch complex is a 3000 metre runway used by military aircrafts. Many pioneering space exploration missions were launched from CCSFS including the first US Earth satellite (1958), the first three-man US spacecraft (1968) and the first spacecraft to orbit Mercury (2011).
