Last night a National Reconnaissance Office Satellite was launched on an Atlas V rocket from the Vandenberg AirForce Base, here in California, less than two hours south of San Luis Obispo. The satellite is classified so very few information is available.
Apparently this was the first time an Atlas V rocket has been launched from this base. A lot of improvements were made in the base to accomodate the new rocket, improvements done all by local constractors.
More info and video of the launch:
