Launch Pad 0 (LP-0), also known as Launch Complex 0 (LC-0),[2] or Launch Area 0 (LA-0),[3] is a launch complex at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport (MARS) on Wallops Island, Virginia, in the United States.[2] MARS is located right next to the NASA Wallops Flight Facility (WFF), which had run the launch complex until 2003.[4] WFF still provides support services to MARS launches under a contract with the Commonwealth of Virginia.[4]

The launch complex consists of three individual launch pads, LP-0A, LP-0B, and LP-0C, referred to by Rocket Lab as Launch Complex-2 (LC-2).[5]
