This schedule lists rocket and missile launches from Vandenberg SFB for the
next several months. It is a composite of unclassified information from open
sources. This schedule is believed to be generally accurate at the time of
publication.

Details on U.S. military launches are withheld until they are approved for public
release or reported in the news media. For official information regarding
Vandenberg SFB activities, go to https://www.vandenberg.spaceforce.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.).

This schedule may disagree with other launch schedules because different
sources were used, the information was interpreted differently, and the
schedules were updated at different times.

PDT: Pacific Daylight Time

PST: Pacific Standard Time
