Enterprise sits on SLC-6 at Vandenberg AFB on an early morning in 1985.

The first Shuttle mission from Vandenberg AFB was slated to be launched in late-1986, with Shuttle’s launching from the West Coast exclusively into polar orbits.

The Challenger Accident and cuts to NASA’s budget along with cost overruns led to the cancellation of a West Coast Shuttle Launch Facility.

SLC-6 is used today to launch military Delta IV rockets.
