In 1988, the blockhouse was restored and converted to meeting space to commemorate the 35th Anniversary of the final Mercury flight. Historically, the Atlas research and development testing program began at this site in 1957, and the US Air Force would conduct Atlas test launches at Complexes 11, 12, 13, and 14 through 1962. The site is more famously associated with the four crewed Atlas Mercury launches including Friendship 7, where John Glenn became the first American to successfully accomplish a human orbital flight mission. Glenn circled the earth three times aboard Mercury/Atlas (MA-6) on February 20, 1962. Other notable crewed Project Mercury missions from LC14 were the Aurora 7, with Scott Carpenter in 1962, the Sigma 7 with Walter M. Schirra, Jr. in 1962, and the Faith 7 with Gordon Cooper’s 22-orbit flight, in 1963.

On Feb. 20, 1962, Glenn piloted the Mercury-Atlas 6 "Friendship 7" spacecraft on the first manned orbital mission of the United States. Launched from Kennedy Space Center, Fla., he completed a successful three-orbit mission around the earth, reaching a maximum altitude (apogee) of approximately 162 statute miles and an orbital velocity of approximately 17,500 miles per hour. Glenn's "Friendship 7" Mercury spacecraft landed approximately 800 miles southeast of KSC in the vicinity of Grand Turk Island. Mission duration from launch to impact was 4 hours, 55 minutes, and 23 seconds.

Launch Complex 14 was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1984. In 1988, the blockhouse was restored and converted to meeting space to commemorate the 35th Anniversary of the final Mercury flight. Historically, the Atlas research and development testing program began at this site in 1957, and the US Air Force would conduct Atlas test launches at Complexes 11, 12, 13, and 14 through 1962. The site is more famously associated with the four crewed Atlas Mercury launches including Friendship 7, where John Glenn became the first American to successfully accomplish a human orbital flight mission. Glenn circled the earth three times aboard Mercury/Atlas (MA-6) on February 20, 1962. Other notable crewed Project Mercury missions from LC14 were the Aurora 7, with Scott Carpenter in 1962, the Sigma 7 with Walter M. Schirra, Jr. in 1962, and the Faith 7 with Gordon Cooper’s 22-orbit flight, in 1963.
Launch Complex 14 Ramp and Stand
Launch Complex 14 (BR2209), is an Historical District and National Historical Landmark. Shown here is a model of the ramp stand area at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, documented with terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) survey that included the capture of the Blockhouse, ramp, stand, pad and surrounding environs and related structures. Launch Complex 14 was built between 1956 and 1957, and was most famously associated with the 1959 and 1960 manned Mercury missions.
Mercury 7 Astronaut Memorial
This public monument interpretive area is the Mercury 7 Memorial located at the entrance to Launch Complex 14 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida. The memorial area features several plaques and signage alongside the monument. Constructed of stainless steel, the piece is shaped in the form of the astronomical symbol for the planet Mercury and contains the number “7” for the seven Mercury astronauts. The memorial was dedicated in 1964 and contains a time capsule that President John F. Kennedy asked to be opened in 500 years, corresponding with the year 2464. The time capsule was placed in the center of the slab under a bronze plaque that overviews the site’s history and contains a quote from President Kennedy. The box contains technical reports and drawings of the capsule, photographs, a movie, and other mementos of the Mercury program.
