  • 1.  Space Force - Friday Fun Fact on a Thursday

    Posted 15 hours ago

    I recently returned from a trip to Washington DC.  While I was there, I realized how little I know about Space Force, so I did a little investigating.

    • Officially established on December 20, 2019, making it the newest branch of the U.S. Armed Forces
    • Just as the Navy maintains freedom of the seas, the Space Force maintains freedom of space for U.S. activities, both governmental and commercial.
    • In 2022, a poll identified 93% of Americal drivers are dependent on GPS to navigate.  GPS satellites are operated by the Space Force.
    • EMC engineers are part of the Space Force.  They ensure that space systems - such as satellites, launch vehicles, and ground support equipment - operate reliably in the harsh electromagnetic environment of space.
    • While the Space Force is headquarters are in Washington D.C., the rest of the service is spread across the U.S. in 19 different states and 11 overseas sites
    • Space Force motto is Semper Supra which in Latin means Always Above

    I don't know all the businesses or organizations our iNARTE certified customers are employed with, but I wonder if any are working with or a part of Space Force

    Thank you Gina for your interesting sharing! I am still vividly remember around 40 years ago there is a popular cartoon and toy line up called "StarCom The US Space Force". I love the design concept of the space fighters e.g. Starmax Bomber, Starwolf, Shadowbat, Shadow Parasite. Sometimes it is very fascinating to see fiction cartoons of my time during the 80s have become a reality thanks to the rapid technological advancement.
