It was then upgraded between 1979 and 1989 for Space Shuttle polar orbit launches before being mothballed again due to the Challenger accident and many unresolved technical issues. It was considered for a second Titan launch facility, but this was dropped in 1991.[citation needed] Supported Athena 1 and 2 launch vehicles (1995–1999). Delta IV launches began in June 2006 for commercial and military payloads going into polar orbits.On 24 April 2023 it was leased to SpaceX for its Falcon 9 launches from West Coast.[4][2]
