Space Launch Complex 4 (SLC-4) is a launch and landing site at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, U.S. It has two pads, both of which are used by SpaceX for Falcon 9, one for launch operations, and the other as Landing Zone 4 (LZ-4) for SpaceX landings. The complex was previously used by Atlas and Titan rockets between 1963 and 2005.
Launch of 47 Starlink v1.5 satellites to a 530 km (330 mi) orbit at an inclination of 43° to expand internet constellation. This launch from Vandenberg achieved a record-breaking low orbital inclination of 43° for a rocket launched from the West Coast of the United States. Previous Starlink Group 9 launches to 43° had been conducted from the ...
