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

The dates and times in this schedule may not agree with those on other
online launch schedules, including the official Vandenberg AFB

interpreted differently, and the schedules were updated at different
times.
