The Air Force last week opened a new aeromedical staging facility in Iraq, reports Air Force Print News in Iraq. It will serve as a holding area for injured troops transiting from the field to medical centers outside the theater. The center cost $85,000 to build and can accommodate up to 100 patients.
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.
