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.
Air Force Gen. Jacqueline D. Van Ovost—a trailblazer and one of the first 10 women to reach a four-star rank across the U.S. military—retired and passed control of U.S. Transportation Command to Air Force Gen. Randall Reed on Oct. 4, finishing an eventful tenure at TRANSCOM.
