The 22nd Space Operations Squadron’s detachment based at RAF Oakhanger, Britain, recently acquired a new 43-foot Antedo antenna, replacing a legacy antenna at the site. The new antenna is a key part of the Air Force Satellite Control Network and went through two separate segment verification tests as well as integrated system tests prior to passing the required 99 percent sortie success rate.
The Sentinel Launch Support System, the digital backbone for testing the new intercontinental ballistic missile over its expected 50-year life, has completed critical design review, Northrop Grumman said Oct. 20.
