VANDENBERG SPACE FORCE BASE, Calif. -- Republic of Korea Army Lt. Gen. Hyokdong Kwon, Army Strategic Missile Command commander, and other members of his team visit Vandenberg Space Force Base. Members of the ROKA Strategic Missile Command visited VSFB facilities during a base tour, meeting with leadership and learning more about the Space Launch and Test Mission of SLD 30.
U.S. Space Force Col. James T. Horne III, Space Launch Delta 30 commander, presented “launch glass,” an artificial type of material that is created through heat and pressure of a rocket engine’s exhaust flame. The “launch glass” presented to Kwon was collected following a launch in 2022 from Vandenberg’s Space Launch Complex 6.
Vandenberg maintains its partnerships with foreign military leaders who drive innovation, building tomorrow’s Air Force and Space Force.
