NASA launches its manned space flights from Merritt Island, which is located near Cape Canaveral in Florida. The Kennedy Space Center, situated on Merritt Island, serves as the primary launch site for human spaceflight missions. This area is strategically chosen for its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, allowing safe launch trajectories.
