Space Launch Complex 20 (SLC-20) is a launch site at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida. It is the northernmost launchpad in Missile Row, located at the northern terminus of ICBM Road between Launch Complex 19 and Launch Complex 34.
Originally designated as Launch Complex 20 (LC-20) by the United States Air Force, SLC-20 was historically built for launching the HGM-25A Titan I in ICBM tests, and subsequently saw use by the Titan IIIA and various sounding rockets. The pad is currently leased to Firefly Aerospace for future use by their Firefly Alpha and Eclipse launch vehicles.
