Team Vandenberg launched a Titan IV-B rocket from Space Launch Complex 4 East at 4:45 p.m. today. The rocket carried a National Reconnaissance Office satellite into orbit. "The 30th Space Wing, Space and Missile Center, NRO and Lockheed Martin Aerospace have worked together to build upon our legacy of success," said COL Steve Lanning (not shown), 30th Space Wing commander and spacelift commander for the mission. "This marks the 1,800th launch from Vandenberg. We have built a solid foundation for government and commercial space launches from here for years to come." Payload-booster separation successfully occurred at 4:54.15 p.m

The objects in this collection are from The U.S. National Archives and Defense Visual Information Distribution Service. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
