Cape Canaveral Launch Complex 15

Launch Complex 15 (LC-15) is an inactive launch pad located at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. One of the eight pads that comprises Missile Row, it was originally built for and used by ICBM tests for the HGM-25A Titan I and LGM-25C Titan II programs throughout the early 1960s. Additionally, it was leased out to ABL Space Systems in order to support launches of their RS1 rocket.

History
Launch Complex 15 originally broke ground in 1957, as part of an expansion by the United States Air Force to Missile Row, which would give it the ability to launch the HGM-25A Titan I alongside the four existing SM-65 Atlas pads. LC-15 was built as the southernmost of the four Titan pads of the subsection, joined by LC-16, LC-19, and LC-20 to the north. The pad's construction saw its completion in summer 1958, and hosted its inaugural launch with the Titan I's maiden flight on February 6, 1959. In this initial configuration, LC-15 hosted ten Titan I launches, all of them successful and being used for testing reentry vehicles as well as the missile itself. Following the last of the Titan I launches in September 1960, LC-15 underwent conversion to support the Titan I's successor, the LGM-25C Titan II. In October 2024, following the accidental destruction of an RS1 to be used in the second flight, ABL announced that they would be leaving the commercial launch market in favor of perusing missile defense. This was made official the next year, when they rebranded themselves as Long Wall, announcing that they will convert the RS1 into a target missile named the RSX. == Launch statistics ==
