00:02.819 --> 00:04.708
I'm Lieutenant Bobby Duck . I'm a

00:04.708 --> 00:06.763
flight mission lead at the 2nd Space

00:06.763 --> 00:08.930
Launch Squadron . Uh , responsible for

00:08.930 --> 00:10.708
mission integration of national

00:10.708 --> 00:12.597
security space launches . Mission

00:12.597 --> 00:14.541
integration is essentially wedding

00:14.541 --> 00:16.541
planning for space launch . Uh , we

00:16.541 --> 00:16.069
make sure the right people are talking

00:16.069 --> 00:18.236
to the right people and they're saying

00:18.236 --> 00:20.458
the right things at the right time . We

00:20.458 --> 00:20.110
ensure that there is a processing

00:20.110 --> 00:22.332
facility for the satellites , and we're

00:22.332 --> 00:24.554
making sure that information is flowing

00:24.554 --> 00:26.610
freely between the integrated launch

00:26.610 --> 00:28.832
team and Vandenberg Space Force Base to

00:28.832 --> 00:28.590
ensure they have the resources that

00:28.590 --> 00:30.701
they need . Traditionally , the Joint

00:30.701 --> 00:33.270
Warfighter uses a system that requires

00:33.270 --> 00:35.381
a line of sight , meaning you have to

00:35.381 --> 00:37.603
see who you're talking to . Basically ,

00:37.603 --> 00:39.714
to hear the message they're trying to

00:39.714 --> 00:41.603
send . Uh , the Space Development

00:41.603 --> 00:45.229
Agency developed a constellation of 6

00:45.229 --> 00:47.229
different missions consisting of 21

00:47.229 --> 00:49.285
satellites each that are gonna relay

00:49.285 --> 00:51.396
information that eliminates that line

00:51.396 --> 00:53.618
of sight requirement , meaning they can

00:53.618 --> 00:55.785
talk to each other without seeing each

00:55.785 --> 00:58.062
other to ensure intelligence dominance .

00:58.229 --> 01:00.007
This is just one example on how

01:00.007 --> 01:01.729
Vandenberg Space Force Base is

01:01.729 --> 01:03.729
supporting the Joint Warfighter and

01:03.729 --> 01:05.840
ensuring they have what they need for

01:05.840 --> 01:06.139
future mission success .
