SpaceX Takes Over Vandenberg Launch Site for Fifth U.S. Rocket Launch Site.
TL;DR Summary
SpaceX will take over the lease of Space Launch Complex 6 (SLC-6) at Vandenberg Space Force Base, which was formerly used by United Launch Alliance to launch the Delta IV rocket family. SpaceX will retrofit SLC-6 to support both the Falcon Heavy and Falcon 9 launch vehicles for future missions, providing yet another launch site for SpaceX to increase its launch cadence. This will also be a valuable launch site for SpaceX to launch National Security launches for the Department of Defense and the National Reconnaissance Office.
