    Description

    KSC, Gemini/Titan Launch Complex 19, Aerial View (1965), Original USAF Photo
    (LC19-003)
    Original photograph of Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 19 distributed by Patrick Air Force Base in April 1965.  LC 19 was the designated launch pad for Titan II missions, in particular Gemini manned flights.
    This photo presents a unique aerial view looking north.  The Erector, used to assemble the Titan/Gemini stack, is in the upright position.  Part of the launch complex blockhouse can be seen to the left.  In the far distance (top, left) is the Vehicle Assembly Building for LC 39.  The Atlantic Ocean coastline is seen on the right.
    The photo is printed on glossy paper stock.  The reverse side has a stamp with the issue date (April 1965), along with a stamp for the Patrick AFB photo lab and an RCA inspection stamp.  We include a copy of the Patrick Air Force Base Gemini Complex 19 Fact Sheet (3 pages) providing a complete description of the launch complex (3 pages).

    About
    Space Flight Collectibles
    The memorabilia we offer in our store was collected while I was a teenager and wrapped up in the enthusiasm of those early years of the space program.  Much of what we offer was collected as part of the research I was doing for projects in local science fairs. The memorabilia in our store are all original and include NASA and contractor brochures, photos, technical reports, press kits and commemorative collectibles.
    We will be adding new memorabilia on a regular basis.  Subscribe to our newsletter to receive updates on new arrivals.
    Whether you have an interest in the space program from a historical or technical perspective, or just looking to give someone a unique gift, we're sure you will find the memorabilia in our store of interest.
    Our store is dedicated to the memory of my parents John  and Lorette who never stopped supporting
    me in my interest in the space program.
    In July 1969, my Father and I were fortunate to
    receive a tour of the Kennedy Space Center
    3 weeks before the launch of Apollo 11.
    In this photo I am joined by our NASA host to
    view the Saturn V/Apollo on Launch Pad 39A
    surrounded by the Mobile Service Structure.
    In July 1970, I had the opportunity to meet with
    Wernher von Braun in his office at NASA Headquarters
    in Washington, DC. Dr. von Braun was kind enough
    to take the time to critique the design I had presented
    at a local science fair on a space station re-using
    Gemini and Apollo hardware.
