Aviano AB, Italy, has a new $36.9 million hospital that opened to visitors Tuesday, reports Stars and Stripes. The 18-bed hospital, whose staff actually has been treating patients since the beginning of the month, took over the space allocated to the base’s old clinic.
The Space Development Agency says it’s on track to issue its next batch of missile warning and tracking satellite contracts this month after those awards were delayed by the Pentagon’s decision to divert funds from the agency to pay troops during this fall’s prolonged government shutdown.
