Vandenberg’s 2nd Range Operations Squadron supported Northrop Grumman employees during the stacking of a Northrop Grumman Minotaur IV to prepare it for flight at Space Launch Complex-8 at Vandenberg Space Force Base, Calif., Mar 12, 2026. The Minotaur IV uses solid rocket motors from the decommissioned LGM-118 Peacekeeper ICBM for stages 1-3. As a critical hub for the nation’s defense, Vandenberg in tandem with industry partners like Northrop Grumman play a pivotal role in advancing national security objectives, ensuring assured access to space, and fostering innovation in both government and industry space sectors.
