The Kansas Air National Guard’s 184th Air Refueling Wing at McConnell Air Force Base has flown its last KC-135 tanker, reports The Wichita Eagle. Its sister unit, the 190th ARW at Topeka, will continue to fly the KC-135, but, as we reported in December, the 184th is converting to an intelligence mission.
The Space Development Agency added 21 satellites to its nascent data transport network in an Oct. 15 launch, the second mission in a 10-month campaign to field 154 operational spacecraft.
