Next Interesting Launch:
Since launches from Vandenberg SFB have become so common, and since 99% of them are from SpaceX, and since
SpaceX is now posting launch schedules --
I will no longer be logging all launches. Instead, as of August 2025, I plan to only track launches that I consider
to be interesting or significant.
The next launch is, of course, another F9. This time it's an reconnaissance payload launched on Friday evening, Jan 16,
with the first stage returning to VSFB for landing.

On October 2, 1999, a test of a prospective National Missile Defense interceptor provided much of the U.S. West Coast with some spectacular views of a Minuteman II launch. Check here for photos, films, and viewing reports. |
