Complexes 11, 12, 13, & 14

These complexes were built for the ATLAS ballistic missile program. These complexes, built in the late 1950’s, are located along CCAS’s eastern coastline. These sites were quite active during the late 50’s and 60’s. Complex 11 supported 28 ATLAS launches and 5 ATLAS Advanced Ballistic Reentry System flights. Complex 12 supported its first ATLAS launch on 10 January 1958, and it 9 RANGER and 4 MARINER missions in the 1960s. Complex 13 supported 51 ATLAS and ATLAS/AGENA flights. Most of the ATLAS/AGENA missions were for NASA; however, the last 11 were for DOD. Complex 14 supported 32 ATLAS and ATLAS/AGENA missions, including four manned MERCURY missions and seven unmanned GEMINI target vehicle launches. All of these complexes are inactive at this time. SLC 13 and 14 are designated as a national/historic landmark.
