The first of four new dorms planned for Kunsan AB, South Korea, will open next week, reports Stars and Stripes. The $19.1 million dorm will provide space for 288 airmen, four per suite, but each airman gets his own bedroom and bath. The base is replacing its 1980s-vintage dorms and expects to complete the last one in 2009. The US military is paying for the construction of three; South Korea is paying for the fourth.
A new Space Force partnership with Blue Origin to expand payload processing capacity at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Fla., will allow the launch range to support as many as 16 more missions per year.
