The Kennedy Space Center (KSC) post office was located in the same original KSC PO that opened in 1965 until that location closed for service on March 29, 2019. The PO staff moved into the new location on April 1st and was open for service on April 3rd.

Are there any images of the original and/or new PO locations? Anyone have any write-ups on the KSC PO location/operation?

Here are a couple of stills from a May 2019 video tour of the new headquarters:

Everything is the same when it comes to reaching the new KSC post office location. Nothing has changed beforehand as the mailing address is the same (does anyone need it again)?

The postal station location, actually, is only a few hundred feet/yards north-east of the original postal headquarters site way back when in the summer of 1965 it had been established.

Not in person unless you are badged, however, I'll be glad to take care of any mails-ins to me (postcards included) and have them mailed from the new postal facility there.

Is there still a post office on-site at the Kennedy Space Center?

Does anyone have contact info or other information about how I would go about sending some covers to receive KSC philatelic postmarks on the upcoming 50th anniversaries of Apollo 16 and 17?
