An Air Force accident investigation board looking into the July crash of an MQ-1 Predator unmanned aerial vehicle in Iraq has concluded that the UAV received faulty data from its manifold air pressure sensor. That led to a decrease in fuel flow to the engine, causing it to crash about 30 miles west of Balad AB, Iraq.
The Space Force plans to stand up a Mission Operations Center to manage the backbone of its hybrid commercial-government data transport constellation, the Space Data Network.
