Launch Viewing Requests
IMPORTANT: Due to an increase in launch mission support, tours are infrequent and will not be scheduled on or close to real-world launch missions. Space Launch Delta 30 does not offer tours to the general public. As an alternative, contact our mission partners for more information at the Space and Missile Heritage Museum at Space and Missile Heritage Center > Vandenberg Space Force Base > Display.
