2nd Space Launch Squadron personnel pose for a group photo at The Crucible innovation lab at Vandenberg Space Force Base, Calif., March 19, 2026. On this day, 2 SLS launched the Innovation Days stand down, an event series designed to facilitate brainstorming and implementation of efficiency recommendations for the squadron. The event aimed to slow down daily activity to readjust for operational tempo through improving the unit’s work capacity and efficiency using innovative techniques. During the event, contractors from SpaceWERX, with support from 2nd SLS leadership, conducted presentations that introduced how to leverage the Small Business Innovative Research contract process to infuse industry solutions to squadron level problems.
