The above schedule is a composite of unclassified information
approved for public release from government, industry, and other
sources. It represents the Editor's best effort to produce a schedule,
but may disagree with other sources. Details on military launches are
withheld until they are approved for public release. For official
information regarding Vandenberg AFB activities, go to
http://www.vandenberg.af.mil.

All launch dates and times are given in Pacific Time using a 24-hour
format similar to military time (midnight = 00:00, 1:00 p.m. = 13:00,
11:00 p.m. = 23:00, etc.). 

The dates and times in this schedule may not agree with those on other
online launch schedules, including the official Vandenberg AFB
schedule because different sources were used, the information was
interpreted differently, and the schedules were updated at different
times.

               READER TIP: SLOW LAUNCH ALERT DELIVERY

If your Launch Alerts are taking a long time to reach you, there are
two likely reasons:

  - You subscribed to the digest version of Launch Alert, which is
    sent out once or twice a week.

  - Your Launch Alert issues are being delayed by your Internet
    Service Provider or network.

If you subscribed to the digest version, you need to change your
subscription for regular Launch Alert delivery.
