The 45th Space Wing supported NASA’s successful launch of the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., Sept. 8, 2016. This is the first U.S. mission that will travel to near-Earth asteroid Bennu to collect surface samples. As planned, the spacecraft will reach its asteroid target in 2018 and return a sample to Earth in 2023, according to NASA. (Courtesy photo/United Launch Alliance)

NASA employees move the disassembled Phantom Eye, a Boeing-developed, liquid hydrogen-powered demonstrator aircraft, during a transfer to Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., Aug. 17, 2016. Once on base, the aircraft will await reassembly and refurbishment for eventual display as part of the Air Force Flight Test Museum. Phantom Eye was designed to fly long endurance missions at high altitudes as a potential surrogate for military intelligence and communications satellites. (U.S. Air Force photo/Christopher Okula)

The 45th Space Wing supported SpaceX’s successful launch of a Falcon 9 Dragon spacecraft headed to the International Space Station from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., July 18, 2016. At about eight minutes after the launch, SpaceX successfully landed the Falcon 9 first-stage booster at Landing Zone 1 on Cape Canaveral AFS. This Falcon 9 Dragon launch was the 13th major launch operation for the Eastern Range this year, and marks the ninth contracted mission by SpaceX under NASA’s commercial resupply services contract.
