Location

Cocoa Beach, United States

Patrick Space Force Base (IATA: COF, ICAO: KCOF) is a United States Space Force installation located near Cocoa Beach, Florida, on the Atlantic coast. It serves as a key military and space operations hub, closely associated with Cape Canaveral Space Force Station to its north. The base is home to Space Launch Delta 45, which oversees Eastern Range launch operations. Originally established as a U.S. Army Air Forces base in 1940, Patrick has evolved from a World War II training facility into a critical node in American space launch infrastructure. It supports both military missions and coordination with NASA's Kennedy Space Center nearby. The airfield at Patrick features runways capable of supporting military aircraft operations and limited transient aviation. It is not a commercial passenger airport and does not serve scheduled airline traffic; access is restricted primarily to military and government personnel.
