Cape Canaveral, which is also known as "Port Canaveral", is a city in Brevard County, Florida, most popular as the home of America's platform, Kennedy Space Center.Cape Canaveral is a piece of a region which is known as the "Space Coast", since the greater part of the United States shuttle are propelled from the Space Center on adjacent Merritt Island.
