This page is the foreword to the Vandenberg AFB launch summary document, explaining the scope of the registry, the organization of the data, and contact information for the 30th Space Wing History Office.
FOREWORD This is the official registry of all major launch operations conducted from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. The vehicles are presented in chronological order beginning with the first launch on 16 December 1958. Launch dates reflect Vandenberg local time. The information is further grouped into two matrixes titled: "ANNUAL LAUNCH SUMMARY BY BOOSTER" and "ANNUAL LAUNCH SUMMARY BY COMMAND." Two additional items contained in this document are a "LAUNCH FACILITY GUIDE" and a "GLOSSARY." In the main chronology section, the two columns reporting cumulative numbers by booster and command represent only Vandenberg operations. They do not include, for instance, Titan IV launches conducted on the East Coast at Cape Canaveral, Florida. The 30th Space Wing History Office (30th SW/HO) periodically updates the Vandenberg AFB Launch Summary book. Questions may be directed to the undersigned at DSN 275-6421 or commercially at (805) 605-6421. JEFFREY GEIGER Office of History ii

This page provides an annual launch summary by command from 1958 to 2000, including specific notes on the Pegasus flight program and the Delta II program.
ANNUAL LAUNCH SUMMARY BY COMMAND 1958 - 2000 Chart II 1979 - 2000 & Totals As of 3 Feb 2000 [TABLE DATA OMITTED FOR BREVITY] 1The Pegasus flight program began with three "captive" flights using inert vehicles. These missions were conducted on 9 Nov 89, 15 Dec 89, and 30 Jan 90. The first seven "live" Pegasus flights, beginning on 5 April 90, as well as the inert flights, originated from the Ames/Dryden Flight Research facility at Edwards AFB, California. They were carried aloft by a modified B-52 aircraft provided by NASA. Beginning with the eight mission, Pegasus was carried by a modified Lockheed L-1011 aircraft and was staged from Vandenberg AFB. 2The Delta II program was operated by McDonnell Douglas Aerospace until the company was purchased by Boeing Aerospace, 4 August 1997.

This page is a glossary of technical terms and acronyms related to missile systems and launch facilities.
GLOSSARY SOFT - Missile emplaced and launched from exposed launcher above ground (e.g., Gantry-type or Test Pad). SEMI-HARD - Missile emplaced in protective ground-level concrete housing prior to launch (see Coffin Type below). HARD - Missile emplaced in protective concrete housing underground prior to launch (see Silo and Silo-Lift below). SILO - Protective vertical tube-type housing from which missile is launched from its emplaced position (Minuteman and Titan II). SILO-LIFT - Missile is stored in silo, but is elevated clear of the tube for above ground launching (Atlas F and Titan I). COFFIN-TYPE - Completely enclosed horizontal storage from which missile is raised to exposed vertical launch position (Atlas D and E). STRIPPED - All recoverable materiel sold and removed under civilian contract, or retained by USAF but transferred to other activities.
