Canaveral Press was a New York based publisher of fantasy , science fiction and related material, active from the early 1960s through the mid 1970s. Richard A. Lupoff was the editor for publishers Jack Biblo and Jack Tannen. After many years of operating their lower Manhattan bookstore, Biblo and Tannen Booksellers, at 63 Fourth Avenue, the two began a publishing subsidiary, named Biblo and Tannen, to republish out of print historical novels that were purchased mainly by school libraries. They also reprinted books on archaeology, including The Palace of Minos at Knossos . Reprints They launched another subsidiary, Canaveral Press, giving it a name identified with space exploration underway at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Cape Canaveral, Florida . Under that imprint, Biblo and Tannen published a line of Burroughs books. Most were reprints of Edgar Rice Burroughs novels on which the copyright had lapsed, but in April 1963, the firm acquired the rights to unpublished Burroughs manuscripts. Canaveral was on good terms with the Burroughs heirs, and several Canaveral Burroughs titles are legitimate first editions of material not previously published in book form and in some cases not previously published. To illustrate the Burroughs novels, Lupoff brought into Canaveral several leading illustrators of the 1950s and 1960s, notably Reed Crandall , Frank Frazetta and Roy G. Krenkel . The Burroughs books continue to sell at premium prices over the Internet. Original books Canaveral also published original books by Lupoff, E. E. Doc Smith , L. Sprague de Camp and Catherine Crook de Camp . Lupoff recalled, After assembling a couple of volumes of Burroughs previously uncollected short stories and preparing several of his unpublished novels for release, I was asked by the owners of the company ..., Richard A.

LC 6 was deactivated in 1961. The blockhouse and a convert 61.96 m abbr on square concrete pad are the only parts of the complex that remain intact, although the mobile service tower is under restoration as of 2011.

It is the southernmost of the launch pads known as missile row . When it was built, it, along with complexes Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Launch Complex 12 12 , Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Launch Complex 13 13 and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Launch Complex 14 14 , featured a more robust design than many contemporary pads, due to the greater power of the Atlas compared to other rockets of the time. It was larger, and featured a convert 6 m tall concrete launch pedestal, and a reinforced blockhouse . The rockets were delivered to the launch pad by a ramp on the southwest side of the launch pedestal. Thirty two SM 65B Atlas Atlas B , SM 65D Atlas D , SM 65E Atlas E and SM 65F Atlas F missiles were launched on suborbital test flights from LC 11. The first launch to use the complex was Atlas 3B, the first full duration flight of an Atlas B, which was launched on 19 July 1958. In addition to the suborbital tests, one orbit al launch was conducted from the complex. On 18 November 1958, Atlas 10B launched Project SCORE SCORE , the world s first communications satellite into low Earth orbit . Following the end of Atlas testing at Cape Canaveral, LC 11 was the only one of the four Atlas pads not to be reused by the Atlas Agena , and hence was first of the four pads to be deactivated.

The Skid Strip was used by NASA s Pregnant Guppy and Super Guppy transport aircraft carrying the S IVB upper stage for the Saturn IB and Saturn V rockets used in Project Apollo . Today, it is predominantly used by USAF C 130 Hercules , C 17 Globemaster III and C 5 Galaxy aircraft transporting satellite payloads to CCAFS for mating with launch vehicles.
