Launch Complex 18 Annotated

3D ModelNoAI

The blockhouse at LC 18 was built in 1957 to serve as the launch control station for both Pad A and Pad B. The original blockhouse with a V-shaped east side is nearly identical to the blockhouses at LC 5/6 and LC 26 that were constructed in 1955-1956. There were several modifications to the LC 18 blockhouse that were made circa 1958. These additions, including earthen terrain used as hardened structural protection transformed the blockhouse into one unlike any other at Cape Canaveral. Shown adjacent to the blockhouse is the Electrical Switch Station structure, Facility 24448.
