Military Space USA Conference

SMi reports: The agenda has been updated for the Military Space USA conference in June, with SMC and the 50^th Space Wing added to this year’s line-up of expert speakers.

On March 15, the United Launch Alliance Successfully launched the 10th Boeing-built WGS-10 (Wideband Global SATCOM) satellite.

This mission demonstrates the U.S. Air Force’s continued commitment to deliver secure and reliable satellite communications around the globe to U.S. and Allied forces.

Tom Becht, acting director of SMC’s Military Satellite Communications Systems Directorate said “Today’s launch is a momentous achievement for the joint warfighter as we launch the tenth WGS satellite. This accomplishment is the result of the remarkable relationship with our partners at SMC’s Launch Enterprise Systems Directorate, the 45th Space Wing, 50th Space Wing, and industry and epitomizes the traits of our transformative SMC 2.0 initiative.” (*Source: US Air Force)
