Dust plumes rise above Space Launch Complex-6 following a controlled demolition of launch infrastructure, June 16, 2026, at Vandenberg Space Force Base, Calif. Following the U.S. Space Force’s 2025 outgrant of SLC-6 to SpaceX, today's demolition marks the next step in the continued evolution of American innovation to meet the demands of the modern space race. Over the last 60 years, SLC-6 has been repurposed to meet the requirements of multiple generations of spaceflight. The current modernization effort will upgrade the historic site into a flexible infrastructure capable of supporting SpaceX’s next generation launch capabilities as national security demands evolve.
