Vandenberg Air Force Base
As one of the nation’s most important military and space installations, Vandenberg Air Force Base is the only launchpad on the West Coast for unmanned test missiles and satellites launched throughout the year.
The Vandenberg Space and Missile Heritage Center at the Historic Space Launch Complex is open on the third Tuesday of each month at 1:00 PM. It tells the story of the critical role Vandenberg Air Force Base has played in launching commercial, national security, and scientific satellites.
