Vandenberg Plans New Launch Support and Manufacturing Facilities

Original: "Vandenberg Eyes New Launch Support Facilities, Possible On-Site Manufacturing" by Air & Space Forces Mag - Continuing t

Vandenberg Space Force Base in Southern California is soliciting industry input on new launch support facilities and possible on-site manufacturing, Air & Space Forces Magazine reports. The move comes as the base expects to grow from 66 launches in 2025 to an anticipated 200 per year by 2030. The plan reflects the rapid expansion of commercial and military space launch activity on the West Coast, and defense and space industry watchers are following how the base's infrastructure will scale.

Why now: Space launch activity is booming and Vandenberg's infrastructure plans signal major growth for the industry.
