Space Launch Complex 4E

Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) is a launch pad at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, used for sending rockets into space. It primarily supports launching small to medium-sized spacecraft, including military, scientific, and commercial satellites. The complex features infrastructure such as a concrete launch pad, fueling systems, and support buildings. SLC-4E is part of a larger launch site that has been operational since the 1950s, playing a key role in space missions, particularly those requiring polar and sun-synchronous orbits. It’s designed for efficiency, safety, and flexibility to accommodate various rocket types.
