Team Vandenberg members watch and record as explosive charges sever structural supports of Space Launch Complex-6 structures during a controlled demolition, 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 evolving the site to advance national space launch capabilities. Following the final Delta IV Heavy launch from this pad on Sept. 24, 2022, the current modernization effort will upgrade the historic site into a flexible infrastructure capable of supporting next generation launch capabilities as national security demands evolve.
