Help Capture Florida’s Next Rocket Launch
🚀 Support Independent Spaceflight Coverage
Help Keep Florida’s Rocket Launches in Focus
Florida is the gateway to humanity’s future in space. From historic NASA missions to cutting-edge commercial launches, the Space Coast is where science, innovation, and inspiration meet the sky.
Florida Spaceflight exists to document these moments—accurately, independently, and visually—so they can be shared with the world.
Your support makes that possible.
Why Your Support Matters
Capturing rocket launches is far more than showing up with a camera. Each launch requires significant time, preparation, travel, and expense, often with no guarantee of success due to weather or last-minute scrubs.
Your donation directly helps cover:
📸 Professional camera equipment & maintenance
🌙 Night and long-exposure photography gear
🚗 Travel costs to Cape Canaveral & Kennedy Space Center
🛥 Boat charters for offshore launch photography
🌧 Repeat attempts after scrubs and delays
💻 Website hosting, live coverage, and publishing tools
Every contribution—large or small—helps ensure Florida’s spaceflight history is preserved and accessible.
