This course provides an in-depth look at the Air Force Space Command. Cadets investigate launch systems, missile operations, orbital mechanics, command and control systems, and more, depending on which location they attend. The program is an opportunity for cadets aspiring to become astronauts, technicians, or Air Force officers to explore space-related careers fields. Cadets that choose the Air Force Space Command at Patrick AFB will experience "behind the scenes" tours, briefings and guest speakers on the various aspects of America's missions and roles in space. Cadets will get first hand opportunities to meet the many talented men and women of the 45th Space Wing and NASA supporting the exciting business of space launch and exploration. In past years cadets had the chance to visit the Range Operations Control Center where all launches from Cape Canaveral are controlled and tracked, historical launch sites from the Mercury and Apollo programs, view a Titan rocket launch, see a GPS satellite and Delta rocket on the launch pad. In addition, cadets may visit NASA's Kennedy Space Center where they can observe elements of the International Space Station being prepared for flight and visit Space Shuttle processing facilities.
