The article seems to be missing pre-1999 history. What happened with SLC-3 prior to 1999 when Atlas came to SLC-3E, and sometime a bit later when Falcon 1 briefly used SLC-3W? N2e ( talk) 01:36, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
A map showing the relative positions of the various launch complexes at Vandenberg would be a useful addition to the article. N2e ( talk) 19:32, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
It is requested that a map or maps, showing the relative positions of the various launch complexex, be
included in this article to
improve its quality. Wikipedians in California may be able to help! |
Since SpaceX no longer uses SLC-3 West and will be using a newly renovated SLC-4 for its Falcon 9 launches starting in 2012, should SLC-3 West be considered inactive? user:mnw2000 00:24, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

This paragraph has been in the article for some years, and tagged for a citation for 5 years. (Full disclosure: I may have been the one who requested the citation quite some time ago.)
I have no problem with the removal; I remove unsourced stuff from Wikipedia very regularly.
However, I may have found a source for this when I recently read the biography of Musk by Ashlee Vance. I don't have a copy available right now, so can't confirm. Therefore, I'm just placing the deleted paragraph here, for future ref if we can find a source.
Several test firings of the Falcon 1 were accomplished before SpaceX discovered that due to the overflight risk they would not be allowed to launch from SLC-3W while launch vehicles were standing on adjacent launch sites. citation needed As one of the adjacent sites was at the time occupied by a "pad queen" (a launch vehicle that sits on its launch pad for months or years before launch) the restriction caused SpaceX to abandon SLC-3W and instead develop their Omelek Island launch site for Falcon 1. SpaceX co-founder Elon Musk has stated that no compensation was paid to SpaceX over this issue.
