Vandenburg is built for Polar launches. Now it just happens that
most military flights use polar orbits and the military is paying
for the Vandenburg facility, but a good number of civilian
flights use polar orbits also. Landsat, weather satilites,
anything that wants to cover the whole surface of the earth.
Correct me if I am wrong but I think the sun syncronous orbit is
approximatly polar also.
