1 00:00:02,819 --> 00:00:04,708 I'm Lieutenant Bobby Duck . I'm a 2 00:00:04,708 --> 00:00:06,763 flight mission lead at the 2nd Space 3 00:00:06,763 --> 00:00:08,930 Launch Squadron . Uh , responsible for 4 00:00:08,930 --> 00:00:10,708 mission integration of national 5 00:00:10,708 --> 00:00:12,597 security space launches . Mission 6 00:00:12,597 --> 00:00:14,541 integration is essentially wedding 7 00:00:14,541 --> 00:00:16,541 planning for space launch . Uh , we 8 00:00:16,541 --> 00:00:16,069 make sure the right people are talking 9 00:00:16,069 --> 00:00:18,236 to the right people and they're saying 10 00:00:18,236 --> 00:00:20,458 the right things at the right time . We 11 00:00:20,458 --> 00:00:20,110 ensure that there is a processing 12 00:00:20,110 --> 00:00:22,332 facility for the satellites , and we're 13 00:00:22,332 --> 00:00:24,554 making sure that information is flowing 14 00:00:24,554 --> 00:00:26,610 freely between the integrated launch 15 00:00:26,610 --> 00:00:28,832 team and Vandenberg Space Force Base to 16 00:00:28,832 --> 00:00:28,590 ensure they have the resources that 17 00:00:28,590 --> 00:00:30,701 they need . Traditionally , the Joint 18 00:00:30,701 --> 00:00:33,270 Warfighter uses a system that requires 19 00:00:33,270 --> 00:00:35,381 a line of sight , meaning you have to 20 00:00:35,381 --> 00:00:37,603 see who you're talking to . Basically , 21 00:00:37,603 --> 00:00:39,714 to hear the message they're trying to 22 00:00:39,714 --> 00:00:41,603 send . Uh , the Space Development 23 00:00:41,603 --> 00:00:45,229 Agency developed a constellation of 6 24 00:00:45,229 --> 00:00:47,229 different missions consisting of 21 25 00:00:47,229 --> 00:00:49,285 satellites each that are gonna relay 26 00:00:49,285 --> 00:00:51,396 information that eliminates that line 27 00:00:51,396 --> 00:00:53,618 of sight requirement , meaning they can 28 00:00:53,618 --> 00:00:55,785 talk to each other without seeing each 29 00:00:55,785 --> 00:00:58,062 other to ensure intelligence dominance . 30 00:00:58,229 --> 00:01:00,007 This is just one example on how 31 00:01:00,007 --> 00:01:01,729 Vandenberg Space Force Base is 32 00:01:01,729 --> 00:01:03,729 supporting the Joint Warfighter and 33 00:01:03,729 --> 00:01:05,840 ensuring they have what they need for 34 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:06,139 future mission success .
