[i]“On the West Coast we will launch from SLC-6,” Kent Rominger, Northrop Grumman’s vice president and capture lead for the OmegA launch system, said in a presentation at the 2019 International Astronautical Congress. Space Launch Complex 6, or SLC-6, is a sprawling launch facility that was built in the 1980s for NASA’s Space Shuttle, along with a 3-mile runway for the shuttle to land. After NASA terminated the program, the complex was turned over to the Air Force and its launch contractors Lockheed Martin and Boeing, which are ULA’s parent companies. ULA is leasing SLC-6 for Delta 4 Heavy launches. The Delta 4 is expected to fly until 2024. Rominger said it will be possible for Northrop Grumman to start building the OmegA pad without disrupting ULA’s operations.[/i]
