The Combined Space Operations Center (CSpOC) hosted its first International Space Day celebration today, welcoming base military members to the “High Bay” in their building for food and games to celebrate the many achievements in, and well as the many benefits and opportunities gained through, the exploration and use of space. The lunchtime event for CSpOC and Combined Force Space Component Command (CFSCC) personnel included opening remarks from CSpOC/Space Delta 5 commander Col. Monique DeLauter, a rocket design and launch competition, and a “Black Hole” cornhole tournament, followed by a brief transfer-of-service ceremony for the CFSCC commander Maj. Gen. DeAnna Burt. Not only did international partners attend the event, but teams representing Australia, France, Germany, Japan, United Kingdom, as well as the United States, also participated in the rocket design and launch competition.
