Space Launch Complex 5 (SLC-5) is a decommissioned launch pad at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, United States. Initially constructed as Launch Complex D (LC-D) in 1961, the facility was used by the Scout family of launch vehicles from 1962 to 1994, carrying a variety of payloads for agencies like NASA, the United States Navy, and the United States Air Force.

Currently, the pad is leased to Phantom Space Corporation for future use by their Daytona line of launch vehicles.^[1]
