Interior Blockhouse 1 & 2, Cape Canaveral

3D ModelNoAI

Blockhouse 1 & 2 was constructed in the early 1950s to oversee Snark winged missile program activities on Launch Pads 1 and 2. The blockhouse had four-inch thick, tempered laminated glass, and was connected underground to the pads by tunnels. Visual observations of the pads were made through a pair of mirrors that reflected images of through the tempered glass windows and downward to observers within the structure. The CDHGI at USF worked in collaboration with the Space Launch Delta 45 and the US Space Force to digitally document historic launch complexes at Cape Canaveral. 3D scanning, imaging, photogrammetry, GPS and GIS are allowing us to work on long-term preservation strategies, and helping us share these national treasures with the public.
