Space Launch Complex 8 (SLC-8), is a launch pad at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, United States.It is currently only used by Minotaur rockets. It was originally part of the California Spaceport and was known as the Commercial Launch Facility (CLF) or Space Launch Facility (SLF). [1]
At the military base are several Space Launch Complexes (SLC) used for launching payloads into polar orbits, with some of them currently active and more slated for future reactivation. Additionally, there are dozens of Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Launch Facilities (LF) at Vandenberg used for testing the missiles over the Pacific.
Space Launch Complex 10 (SLC-10), or Missile Launch Complex 10, [1] is located on Vandenberg Space Force Base in Lompoc, California.
