Visitors to the Lompoc area who are interested in all things to do with space exploration, satellite launching and missile testing can join a tour of the Vandenberg Air Force Base in Lompoc. The tours are only offered once a month, on the third Tuesday at 1pm and you will need to book your place at least 15 days in advance (30 days if you are a non-U.S. citizen). On the tour you will learn about the essential part played by the Vandenberg AFB in providing a launch and support area for satellite launches and missile testing but since this is a high-security facility you can expect certain parts of the base to be off-limits.
Address: Vandenberg Air Force Base, Lompoc, California
