Vandenberg Air Force Base is an American spaceport located in California, on the Pacific coast. Because of its location it is used for launches into polar orbit; as well as missile tests over the Pacific ocean.
There are several excellent Addons modeling the base.
A history is available at Wikipedia [1]
