Shuttle TFR

[lmb118]

I am going to try to make the next launch and cannot find any info on the airspace restrictions.
Size of TFR?
Times from launch?
Best airport to rent a car from?
I think I will be in Titusville for viewing.

What do you think about X50,X21,TIX,COI, MLB ?

I am still in the planning stages and open to all suggestions.

If I recall correctly...

30 Mile radius TFR - it encompasses most all the local airports.

Active about 7 hours before launch (plus or minus an hour - I forget)

I've easilyt rented cars at both Titusville and Meritt Island - both are easy airports to use. For fast trips in and out of KSC, I like TIX. If I'm spending the night, I like to be in Cocoa Beach, and COI is more convenient.

Maybe they'll increase the radius a bit now to account for weaving about during the launch! (sorry Paul)

I'll be flying in to TIX in the morning. I'll go visit the museum before waiting for the launch. I called on of the FBO at TIX and they'll arrange rental car through enterprise.
