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/

etc.).

This schedule may disagree with other launch schedules because different
