We were watching TV last night when the kitchen windows rattled. I remembered hearing there was a launch tonight, and identified it as a sonic boom from #Vandenberg !

The #Vandenberg Space Force Base in Santa Barbara County announced plans for a new launch site that would offer launch providers the ability to develop and fly #heavy or
#super-#heavy lift spacecraft.

That's aerospace industry parlance for larger vehicles capable of carrying massive payloads into orbit,
which are likely to be visible to spectators far beyond the launch pad in California and even neighboring states.

Because it's so early in the process,
the U.S. Space Force is only seeking responses from launch service providers that would be interested in leasing space at the yet-undeveloped area.

But because #SpaceX is the most active tenant at Vandenberg,
the space community is already abuzz with the idea that the expansion plans could give billionaire Elon Musk's commercial rocket company the option of bringing its #Starship operations to the West Coast.

So far, though, it's unclear what interest SpaceX or any other major spaceflight competitors would have in Vandenberg's new site.

NASA, SPHEREx, PUNCH e la Mappatura dell’Universo.
Il 12 marzo 2025, dalla base di Vandenberg, la NASA ha lanciato con un unico razzo Falcon 9 le missioni SPHEREx e PUNCH.
Logica di Carico: È stato il primo esperimento di "ridesharing" della NASA per ottimizzare i costi (SPHEREx è costata 488 milioni di dollari).

Vandenberg SFB Launch Alert

Vandenberg Space Force Base Guardians and Airmen are scheduled to support the launch of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying 27 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit, Wednesday, December 17th, between 7:10 a.m. and 11:10 a.m. from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4).

The timing is driven by orbital mechanics and ensures the vehicle will reach the precise point in space required to execute mission objectives.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch at https://www.spacex.com/launches/sl-15-13 and on X @SpaceX. 

Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship, which will be stationed in the Pacific Ocean.

This launch supports Department of War communications through advanced low-Earth orbit technology.

Based on Vandenberg SFB's updated audibility modeling, residents of Ojai, Ventura, Oxnard, and Camarillo may hear a sonic boom approximately 5-10 minutes after launch, with the greatest likelihood of audibility in the Ojai and Ventura areas. 

Areas local to Vandenberg SFB will hear the initial low rumble of take-off.

Vandenberg SFB continues to provide safe and reliable access to space in support of national security and homeland defense.
