2 Shuttle
3 Runway Extension etc.?
4 Abort options for a shuttle going to polar orbit?

[edit] "Vandenberg is also used for the launch of non-militaric satellites in polar orbits"

i have very serious doubts as to whether 'militaric' is a real word (apologies if it's a typo)

i think 'military' suits ok - changing article to reflect this

[edit] Shuttle

"Over $100,000 were spent on the new space shuttle modifications." um, that figure sounds insanely low, but I'm not changing it since I don't have the actual figures. Jafafa Hots 12:32, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Runway Extension etc.?

I was stationed at Vandenberg in the 70's and worked on the flightline there. Wasn't the runway at Vandenberg lengthened to accomodate expected landings of the Space Shuttle in the late 70's? If so, this should be included in the article. Also some mention of the program in which Minuteman Missiles were test-launched from C-5A aircraft in a program that came out of Vandenberg during the same time. Spyneyes 03:36, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Abort options for a shuttle going to polar orbit?

At Other launch sites...? on Space.com's forums, I was wondering what abort options where available for a orbiter attempting to reach polar orbit from Vandenberg by launching south. Will (Talk - contribs) 07:50, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
