La Space Coast, littéralement en français « Côte de l'Espace », est une région de Floride aux États-Unis. Elle région s’étend autour du Kennedy Space Center où sont lancées les navettes spatiales américaines.
Les cités de la région sont Titusville, Cocoa, Cocoa Beach, Rockledge, Melbourne et Palm Bay. La plus grande partie de la région se situe dans le comté de Brevard. Elle est bordée au sud par la Treasure Coast à l’ouest par la Central Florida, au nord par la Fun Coast et à l’est par l’océan Atlantique.
Le préfixe téléphonique de la région est 321 depuis 1999. Il s’agit d’un clin d’œil par rapport aux trois dernières secondes du décompte opéré lors de chaque lancement de navette spatiale[1],[2]. La région est connue pour ses nombreux lieux nommés en référence à la conquête de l’espace (astronautes, navettes spatiales, satellites, etc).
