SLC-6 "Slick Six" Shuttle Launch Site
Web site by: Phil Broad

This series of photos was taken at the California Space Shuttle launch site known as "Slick Six".  It was located on Vandenberg AFB and was converted from the never used MOL (Manned Orbital Laboratory) launch facility.  SLC-6 would have been used to place the Space Shuttle into Polar orbits for launching military satelites.  Geologic conditions forced the complex to be abandoned once again so it was never used to launch the Shuttle either.  These photos show the completed facility undergoing fit checks with the Space Shuttle "Enterprise".
