Happy 1-year anniversary to MuSat2! 🚀 Since launching on March 4, 2024, it has delivered GNSS-R soil moisture & ocean wind speed data to USAF, gained key flight heritage for our Halo™ platform, and advanced Muon’s mission ops & data pipelines. Onward to more milestones!

“These cuts are killing Veterans. Veterans will die.” – MG (Ret.) Paul Eaton, at yesterday's SVAC shadow hearing
He even offered to advise DOGE. They ignored him.
Now they’re gutting care and shutting Veterans out.
It’s a knife in the back of everyone who ever wore the uniform.

In 2004, Col. Merryl Tengesdal made history as the first Black woman to fly the Lockheed U-2 reconnaissance aircraft – joining a program that very few women or Black pilots had participated in. She reflects on her career: s.si.edu/3HEaiSa #WomensHistoryMonth

#NeverForget On March 23, 1994, an F-16 collided with a C-141 on Green Ramp. Today we pay our respects to the 24 brave souls who lost their lives and those who call them friends and family. We honor their legacy and will forever remember them. #AATW
