After the opposing forces attacked and damaged the camp runway, the Rapid Runway Repair team from the 90th CES, F.E. Warren AFB, Wyo., went to work filling in the craters using dump trucks and road graders and then began assembling the AM2 runway repair mats. They are participating in Exercise Condor Contest, part of a Space Command Operational Readiness Inspection which deployed 155 members of the 90th Missile Wing, F.E. Warren AFB, Wyo. to Camp Guernsey Army National Guard Base, Wyo

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. – The Delta II interstage adapter, or ISA, for NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive mission, or SMAP, is delivered to the mobile service tower at Space Launch Complex 2 on Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. A United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket will loft SMAP into orbit. The ISA connects the Delta II first and second stages and encloses the second stage engine and thrust section. The spacecraft will provide global measurements of soil moisture and its freeze/thaw state. These measurements will be used to enhance understanding of processes that link the water, energy and carbon cycles, and to extend the capabilities of weather and climate prediction models. The data returned also will be used to quantify net carbon flux in boreal landscapes and to develop improved flood prediction and drought monitoring capabilities. Launch is scheduled for November 2014. To learn more about SMAP, visit http://smap.jpl.nasa.gov. Photo credit: NASA/Randy Beaudoin KSC-2014-3493
