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 SFB activities, go to
https://www.vandenberg.spaceforce.mil/

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 SFB schedule because
different sources were used, the information was interpreted differently, and the
schedules were updated at different times.
