Launch Complex 19 (LC-19) is a deactivated launch site on Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida. One of the eight pads considered part of Missile Row, it is most famous for being used as part of Project Gemini, being the launch site of all ten crewed missions in 1965 and 1966. [1]

The complex was later modified for the NASA Gemini Program, acting as the launch site for ten manned Gemini flights. Launch Complex 19 is currently abandoned, with the blockhouse and concrete elements of the launch pad intact.
