VANDENBERG SFB LAUNCH

There was a rocket launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base in northwestern Santa Barbara County Thursday evening.

Firefly Alpha lifted off at 7:27 PM and its contrail could be seen over a wide area of Southern California.

Firefly Aerospace is a small Texas-based company that has been given the task by the United States Space Force to launch payloads important to the national defense within 24-hours.

The idea is that if there is a national security threat, they can get a satellite into space in response to that threat at a moment’s notice.

They say that Thursday evening’s mission was a success.

The mission was dubbed "VICTUS NOX", Latin for “conquer the night.”
