California Coastal Commission voted to restrict SpaceX Falcon 9 launches to 100 per year at Vandenberg Space Force Base .

In October , the commission voted 6 -4 to deny a proposal to increase the number of launches from 36 to 50 per year.

The Department of the Air Force has kicked off a federal process to examine the environmental effects of the increase.

SpaceX has also filed a lawsuit, urging a US court to overturn the commission’s decision.
