"A robust and resilient space launch architecture is the foundation of both our economic prosperity and our national security. National Security Space Launch isn’t just a program; it's a strategic necessity that delivers the critical space capabilities our warfighters depend on to fight and win." – U.S. Space Force Chief of Space Operations Gen. Chance Saltzman

Honoring a legend in space exploration. Maj. Gen. Joe H. Engle was a true space pioneer—blazing trails from the X-15 to the Space Shuttle. Explore how his legacy shaped the future of space operations at https://lnkd.in/ezsp_-dp

📡The Space Force supports its sister services, and America's 🇺🇸 allies and partners during operations by ensuring their access to mission-critical space-based services 24x7. In March, a U.S. Coast Guard vessel and the French Navy deployed a swimmer during a search and rescue exercise off the coast of France. These types of operations provide the Coast Guard, and our allies and partners with the knowledge and experience on how to use tools such as GPS and weather services when a crisis arises. #SpaceForce #SemperSupra #USCG

📡 The Space Force secures access to critical space capabilities--such as GPS--for our partners that enable success of their missions. The U.S. Navy, USS Somerset's crew, took advantage of GPS services as it practiced recovering the Orion spacecraft in March 2025, a key step in preparing for NASA 's Artemis II mission, which will send astronauts to the Moon. Our Guardians' efforts to maintain GPS 24x7 during the recovery test made for a picture-perfect finish to this exercise. #SemperSupra U.S. Navy 📸 by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Nettie Mae Manfull

🚀 Testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee recently, U.S. Space Command Commander Gen.

📡Space and Missile pioneer John C. "Jack" Herther co-authored a groundbreaking study that proposed placing a satellite in a 300-mile circular orbit, an idea that was soon put into operation. Over the years, hundreds of U.S. Air Force, NASA and other payloads would orbit using Herther's ideas. Read more👇 https://lnkd.in/df-DapCt
