President Trump signed an executive order Friday to revive the council, which last met in 1993.
Trump said bringing the council back sends a clear signal to the rest of the world.
Pence will examine the center's work as a spaceport for commercial and government clients, along with NASA's progress in building the next generation spacecraft.
Members of the council will include several members of the cabinet, the head of NASA, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the national security adviser and the director of national intelligence.
Pence is expected to visit Kennedy Space Center next Thursday.
