This week at Vandenberg Space Force Base, Firefly Aerospace is scheduled to launch.

The launch window for Firefly Aerospace’s Alpha FLTA004 rocket is set for this Wednesday, between 9:18 and 9:39 a.m.

Base authorities state that Space Launch Delta 30 Guardians, Airmen, and Firefly Aerospace are conducting the launch. Fly the Lightning is the mission name, and it will launch a Lockheed Martin payload.

The person in charge of making launch decisions is Space Launch Delta 30 vice commander, U.S. Space Force Col. Bryan Titus.

“At Vandenberg Space Force Base, our Space Launch Delta 30 Guardians and Airmen play a vital role in delivering robust spaceport capabilities that directly provide the ‘to’ part of U.S. Space Force’s mission to secure our Nation’s interests in, from, and to space,” Titus said. “Our commercial launch partners serve as our invaluable industrial base, enabling us to achieve robust national security objectives in support of the entire Joint Force.”
