• Admission on two targeted launch dates: one admission on the date the launch is scheduled and one additional launch attempt if a scrub or delay occurs.
• A return visit within 30 days after the launch attempt(s) to explore the rest of the visitor complex attractions and exhibits (blackout dates apply).
