The U.S. Space Force provides GPS, free of charge, to everyone on earth... and still less 10% of people know it exists. If you think you don't rely on space, try taking a road trip without it.

Less than 10% of Americans know that @USSpaceForce exists, despite the fact that every American uses space-based tech every day. GPS, telecommunications, weather data, all of it relying on satellites miles above... it all works, thanks to the people who ensure it everyday.

It turns 30 this year. Its commander joined the Spacepower Podcast to explain why it matters... Link below

Right now, Space Command is relocating its headquarters from Colorado Springs to Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama.
On April 29, it opened its first operational facility there, a true active intelligence element.

Two organizations. Two distinct jobs. Both essential to how the U.S. operates in space.
SFA supports the people in both. And we're watching this transition closely. 👀
