Schiess, Combined Force Space Component Command commander, at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, Calif., April 25, 2023. The Cal Poly CubeSat Laboratory is part of PolySat, a student-run, multidisciplinary independent research lab at the university which partnered with Vandenberg through a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) in 2019, the first of its kind between the base and an academic institution. A CRADA is a no-cost collaboration that enables the transfer and exchange of technology and professional expertise. (U.S. Space Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Luke Kitterman)
