Members of the 3rd Space Experimentation Squadron gathered to say goodbye to the Automated Navigation and Guidance Experiment for Local Space satellite during a final command ceremony at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, Nov. 20. ANGELS was an experimental satellite that tested the boundaries of orbital mechanics
and capabilities of space systems. It was launched in July 2014 and was initially managed by the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Space Vehicles Directorate at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico. It was designed to demonstrate automated spacecraft operations, advanced Space Situational Awareness capabilities and expand Rendezvous and Proximity Operations techniques.
In July 2016, AFRL transferred satellite control authority to the 3rd SES. This gave the 50th Space Wing authority over the satellite to dictate tasks and commands for ANGELS. “Our mission within 3rd SES is to execute threat replication trajectories for the creation of tactics, techniques and procedures,” said Capt. Matthew Cork, ANGELS See Farewell page 4

located on Diego Garcia, was in question. Two weeks prior to the launch date, REEF-B experienced severe equipment damage that impacted its ability to support all satellite missions. In the case of a launch, the complete loss of a required or mandatory AFSCN site such as REEF-B creates launch on time risk and could stop a launch altogether. “Each launch is unique, and every tracking station around the world has multiple issues that need to be planned for to successfully execute global operations,” Brown said. “Increasing information flow and situational awareness is the key to reducing operational risk while increasing the likelihood of a successful mission.” To ensure all subject matter experts were organized to effectively work towards restoring REEF-B, Col. Scott Angerman, 50th NOG commander, appointed Brown chairperson for the operations review board. He was tasked with determining the root cause of the REEF-B equipment damage, identifying risks to missions, impacts to the enterprise if the antenna remained offline and final recommendations for operations and procedures. He instituted multiple reporting and situational awareness mechanisms to ensure leadership maintained strong situational awareness over all changes in status, understood all issues and were made aware of necessary actions to implement.

3rd Space Experimentation Squadron members gather during the Automated Navigation and Guidance Experiment for Local Space satellite final command ceremony at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, Nov. 20, 2017. ANGELS was an experimental satellite created to test the boundaries of orbital mechanics and capabilities of space systems, which was launched July 2014.
Farewell From page 1 flight commander. “We had ANGELS fly a threat replication trajectory for an asset at geosynchronous orbit. This is done to know how to defend against an on-orbit aggressor.” Cork explained the reason for the final command ceremony was due to completion of end-of-life experimentation, no longer having necessary resources available to extend the satellite’s life, as well as freeing up personnel for future missions. The ceremony
was to confirm all passivation was complete and declare ANGELS as mission-ended. The 3rd SES invited Dr. Joel Mozer, Air Force Space Command acting chief scientist and technical advisor, to send the final command. The squadron explained this as fitting because Mozer had satellite control authority during the beginning stages of ANGELS. “It is generally rare for the same person who received initial satellite control authority for a satellite to be the one whom also sends the final command,” said Lt. Col. Kevin Amsden, 3rd SES commander. “However, Dr. Mozer had recently been asked to fill in as the acting AFSPC chief scientist, so it was very fortunate and quite an honor to invite
him back to send the final command.” During the final contact with the vehicle, the satellite was confirmed to be in the safest, lowest energy state possible. This means all fuel was depleted from the fuel tanks, the batteries were disconnected and the vehicle was in a safe configuration. “The final command ceremony spanned a spectrum of emotions,” Cork said. “It was nice to see how this space vehicle and its operations have touched so many lives in a meaningful way. It’s always sad to see assets go, because people pour their lives into the operations here. However, it is also a good thing to see, knowing you have done great work and that it will carry on into the future.”
Amsden addressed his team and guests, while looking back on the satellite’s journey from transfer to final command. “I could not be more proud of the 3rd SES and all the members of the ANGELS team,” Amsden said. “They took this mission and executed a whole series of ‘first-evers,’ demonstrating new tactics, techniques and procedures that will be critical in advancing the future of our nation’s space superiority.” While 3rd SES may have recently decommissioned ANGELS, the squadron continues to look forward to future missions. They are gearing up for several new programs to include the EAGLE and Mycroft space vehicles, scheduled to launch April 2018.

Heart Link celebrates, informs spouses By Halle Thornton 50th Space Wing Public Affairs
Family support is just as important to an Air Force base’s mission as the Airmen who serve. Seventeen husbands and wives attended Heart Link, an event that informs spouses about Air Force life, Nov. 14. The day began with a meet and greet, where attendees wrote five things they had in common with other spouses at various tables to identify common interests. Ruth Moore, Airman and Family Readiness Center community readiness consultant and lead for the event, said the goal of Heart Link is to introduce spouses to the base and local community while working to create missionready spouses. “As a military spouse, it is my passion to help spouses and families,” she said. “I love the military life, but there are challenges that go along with that.” Col. Jacob Middleton, 50th Space Wing vice commander, kicked off the event with a history of his military experience for he and his wife. “Regardless of whether you’re in the military or not, marriage is a team sport,” he said. “I think the whole team idea is accentuated in the military.” Middleton added there is a lot of stress on the family, not just the military member. “Coming together as a team helps us accomplish the mission,” he said. He then gave a mission brief and provided information about Schriever’s mission partners and agencies on base, and explained why Heart Link is important. “This program is going to inform you about the benefits the Air Force offers, all of which are intended to help you deal with the stressors and challenges of military life,” Middleton said. He continued to explain how the Air Force provides not only military members but their families with financial and emotional sup-

port every step of the way, something that can be rare among non-military employees. Other helping agencies briefed attendees, such as the First Sergeants, 50th Force Support Squadron and Family Advocacy. Spouses spent the second half of the day touring the 4th and 22nd Space Operations Squadrons, where the majority of military spouses work. (Capt.) Chaplain Portmann Werner, 50th
SW chaplain and one of the briefers for the event, said the spouses were interested in all the things the chaplain’s office does. “They had great questions,” he said. “When I saw some spouses’ husbands at the gate in the morning, they said, ‘My wife talked very highly of you!’ and that was a great way to start the day.” Moore said the classes were successful in teaching spouses military language and
helped them better understand their role in the Air Force family. “It was a great opportunity to network and become familiar with key resources on and off base,” she said. “It also gave new spouses the chance to meet and learn from ‘seasoned’ spouses, who have been married to a military member longer and are used to the lifestyle.” For more information about the A&FRC’s services, call 567-3920.

Academy grads reunite, compete in Alpha Warrior Final Battle By Steve Warns AFIMSC Public Affairs
JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIOLACKLAND, Texas — The Air Force Alpha Warrior Final Battle Nov. 11 at the Alpha Warrior Proving Ground at Retama Park in Selma, Texas, became a de-facto family reunion for several U.S. Air Force Academy graduates. Capt. Jeff Schaefer, a civil engineering instructor at the Academy, competed along with his wife, Capt. Rachel Schaefer, a program manager with the Air Force Life Cycle and Management Center at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado. Jeff finished first in the men’s division with a time of 6:58.3, while Rachel finished third in the women’s division in 12:27.4 minutes. Rachel said she first heard of Alpha Warrior during a spin class at the Peterson fitness center. “I came out of the class and I saw Kacy Catanzaro (of NBC’s ‘American Ninja Warrior’),” said Rachel, a former pole vaulter at the Academy. “I found out that they were having a competition that weekend. Jeff and I went, and we were told they were coming back to do the regional qualifying competition.” Because Rachel and Jeff are fitness enthusiasts, avid rock climbers and also practice acro-yoga, a combination of acrobatics and yoga, competing in Air Force Alpha Warrior was a logical choice to test their readiness and resiliency. The Schaefers competed in the Peterson regional where Rachel won the women’s division, while Jeff finished third in the men’s division. The men’s winner there was Capt. Cale Simmons, Rachel’s brother. Simmons, a former Air Force World Class Athlete program member and 2016 Olympian in the pole vault, finished second in the Final Battle in 7:25.2. Simmons, a contracts manager with Air Force Space and

Missile Command at Peterson AFB, often joins his sister and brother-in-law for rock climbing excursions. “It just gives us a reason to climb harder together,” said Jeff, who noted the competition between he and Simmons is friendly and good-natured.
Jeff also noted how Alpha Warrior hones the four pillars of Comprehensive Airman Fitness — physical, mental, social and spiritual. “You can always get better,” Jeff said. “If you’re trying to work through an obstacle, sometimes you’ll fall off that path toward
improving. But once it clicks, you can look back and say ‘I got it now!’” Joining the trio from Colorado was Cale’s identical twin brother Capt. Rob Simmons, a C-17A pilot with the 16th Airlift Squadron See Warriors page 11

Schriever gets new touch information kiosks By Tech. Sgt. Wes Wright 50th Space Wing Public Affairs
At Schriever, staying current with and often ahead of digital information is something critical to the success of the mission. In keeping with that, the 50th Space Wing’s number one priority is to “successfully and innovatively execute today’s operations.” The 50th Force Support Squadron is doing just that in the form of two brand new interactive touch kiosks. One is located in the Building 210 atrium and the other in the Fitness Center entrance. They were launched fully functional Nov. 21. “It’s basically a glorified tablet,” said Jhen Stark, 50th FSS marketing director. “Our goal is for these kiosks to be onestop information shops for people on base. It’s like an interactive website for people to find information about FSS events and activities. These kiosks are one of our avenues that will allow us to better interact with and inform our community.” The kiosks arrived at Schriever mid-September and were put into a beta mode while Stark’s team received training and formulated an execution plan. Currently, users can access information ranging from 50th FSS events and activities to locating various offices and phone numbers within the squadron. While the kiosks are already bringing value to Schriever, Stark says they have just begun to scratch the surface of their potential; her team is actively working to make their functions as robust as possible. “Our hope as we dive deeper into all the functions, is to make it interactive in terms of digital maps,” Stark said. “We also want people to be able to do things like sign their children up for the Child Development Center, check in at the gym and much more.” Stark said one of the goals of these kiosks is to stay current with how people, particularly the younger generation, are accessing information. “In this age, people want information fed to them as easily as possible because technology can easily facilitate that,” Stark said. “If information is even a little bit buried or difficult to access, you’ll alienate your audience or they’ll go somewhere else for the information.” Airman 1st Class Jameelah England-Smith, 50th FSS customer service apprentice, has been at Schriever for one month and was one of the first to experience the kiosks. “I personally thought the kiosk was very helpful and convenient,” she said. “I had no idea it had all of those cool

features! I liked how it was super easy to navigate and really simplistic. Not only did it allow you to take a peek at the dining facility lunch menu but also any upcoming events on base.” Airman Kalissa Vue, 50th FSS career development apprentice, has been at Schriever for two months and agreed with Stark on the importance of ease of access to information. “I believe it is more beneficial to my generation because we are so interested in social media and always on our phones or
devices,” Vue said. “It was very informational and I liked how it gave you an idea of what was going on around the base.” Stark encouraged people to take a moment to explore the kiosks the next time they are at either of the locations. “We have grand plans for these things and their functionality will only continue to grow,” she said. “Check them often, you never know what cool things we’re going to be putting on there.”

Launch From page 3 by emergency maintenance teams, REEF-B was given a ‘GO’ for launch support. However, the issues didn’t stop there. Hours before the launch, Brown learned REEF-B was experiencing heavy weather that affected its SATCOM capabilities. Without the presence of an undersea fiber, REEF-B’s ability to support a launch could have been impacted. Brown directed the 21st SOPS AFSCN network control center to engage with the Defense Information Systems Agency watch officer to discuss the importance of REEF-B’s circuit for launch and increase awareness of the risk for drop outs due to heavy weather. Brown, the ANCC and the DISA watch officer had developed a way for increasing power on the SATCOM link to maintain positive connectivity and push through severe weather. This type of thinking provided decision makers critical situational awareness to mitigate problems before they impacted operations and plan for alternate contingencies to ensure mission success. The launch was succesfull because leaders like Brown sift through information and select the issues that matter most. This, as well as experience is what they largely base their decisions on. They cut through the fog and complexity to get to the heart of the matter, without getting sidetracked and they do it without losing sight of the main objective.

the audience of his three priorities in the Department of Defense and things he is focused on: to build a more lethal military; to strengthen our alliances and partnerships by building trust; and to change the way we do business. “I wanted you to be aware of those three priorities I’m working on and I want you to focus on creating harmony,” Mattis said. “I want to you to create harmony at this command and in your future assignments, and it may even be a vicious harmony as we close in on the enemy. We need to keep the U.S. military tight-knit, and we need to keep our alliances strong and let them know that we need them. If we concentrate on what other nations bring to the table, you’ll find that they all have something to offer.” Mattis highlighted the importance of discipline saying, “You have to make certain that you discipline yourself and that you discipline each other. You have to take care of each other because lack of discipline
is not very forgiving in this world.” Mattis concluded his speech by opening it up for questions and answers. Upon completion of the NORAD/ USNORTHCOM all-call, Secretary Mattis continued his Colorado Springs itinerary with a visit to Schriever Air Force Base, part of Air Force Space Command. Mattis began his Schriever visit with a stop at the National Space Defense Center where he and AFSPC leaders discussed the Space Security Defense Program. The NSDC, formerly known as the Joint Interagency Combined Space Operations Center, is a joint and interagency center that provides C2 for space defense, conducts space experiments, exercises and trains, and supports space defense Battle Management Command and Control. It is designed to create unity of effort and information in space defense operations among the Department of Defense, the intelligence community, and interagency and commercial space entities.
The NSDC is continuing to mature toward full operational capability, which is anticipated in early 2018. The NSDC will provide input to develop and improve the U.S.’s ability to rapidly detect, warn, characterize, attribute and defend against disturbances to space systems. Mattis wrapped up his visit at the 1st Space Operations Squadron at Schriever AFB where 50th Operations Group leadership discussed the vitality of space situational awareness and the critical space capabilities they provide the nation. First SOPS is responsible for operating the Space Based Space Surveillance System, Advanced Technology Risk Reduction system and the Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Program. Second Lt. Scarlett Rodriguez from 50th Space Wing Public Affairs and ShellieAnne Espinosa from Air Force Space Command Public Affairs contributed to this story.

Fitness Center upgrades set to complete Feb. 2 By Senior Airman Arielle Vasquez 50th Space Wing Public Affairs
Contractors began renovations on the Schriever fitness center showers, Building 120, to improve quality of life for the base community, Sept. 5. The 50th Civil Engineer Squadron, 50th Contracting Squadron and 50th Force Support Squadron have been working together this past year to enhance the fitness center. “While we need to temporarily suspend some operations and events, it’s a small price to pay when we are looking at it from a strategic standpoint,” said Lt. Col. Merrell Mobley, 50th FSS commander. “When looking forward, it’s abundantly apparent how the changes will improve overall quality of life for Airmen and families.” One of the main goals during the renovation is to replace the shower areas in both the men’s and women’s locker rooms due to wear and tear over time.
“Up until recently, the estimated completion date for the shower project was set for December, but has been extended due to water damage found behind some of the locker room walls,” said Seth Cannello, 50th FSS fitness center director. Renovations include walls and ceiling cleaning and painting, shower tile replacement, heating, ventilation and air conditioning system testing and replacement of shower heads and controls. Additionally, other renovation projects are scheduled to take effect early next year. “While the showers are not accessible, we thought it would be a good service to the community to revitalize the gymnasium floor,” Mobley said. “Currently, the floor is relatively old and can be unsafe for sports and running around. The plan is to add more traction to the surface. The project will start Dec. 26.” The shower and gymnasium floor projects are both sched-
uled for completion Feb. 2. Cannello added in the coming months, plans are set to utilize a heating system in the indoor running track, mainly for fitness assessment tests and for squadron use. “The general sense I get is that most people have put the situation in perspective and understand that you have to give to get,” Mobley said. “While they’re sacrificing opportunities that they would otherwise enjoy right now, they understand and appreciate the fact that we’re trying to do something good for the community.” “The 50th FSS and its partners continue to strive to improve quality of life for Airmen and their families”, he continued. “This is one of many initiatives the team is going after to accomplish that goal. We’re here to serve and we’ll continue to do so.” For more information on the projects, contact the fitness center at 567-6658.

Warriors From page 6 at Joint Base Charleston, South Carolina. En route to complete training at Altus AFB, Oklahoma, Rob made a detour and stopped in San Antonio to watch his family members compete. Rob had planned to compete in the Charleston regional, but broke his right leg while kiteboarding and underwent surgery. He was still able to run the course for fun, along with Jeff and Rachel, after the competition was decided. “It felt fine,” Rob said with a smile after running the course for the first time since his leg surgery. The family reunion turn into an alma mater reunion when the siblings ran into former Air Force Academy track and field team mates. Capt. Lesly Palicia, a bilateral cyberengagement chief with 5th Air Force and her husband, Capt. Noah Palicia, a C-130J instructional pilot with the 36th Airlift Squadron at Yokota Air Base, Japan, also competed in the Final Battle with Lesly finishing 14th in the women’s competition and Noah finishing seventh in the men’s. For the entire Air Force family, the Alpha Warrior program as a whole, allows Airmen to come together as friends or coworkers to encourage and challenge each other to complete the obstacles or improve their times, which in turn achieves greater resiliency at home station and while deployed. The Alpha Warrior program will continue to expand in 2018 with Battle Rigs and Battle Stations being delivered to bases not included in the initial rollout of 41 installations.

Trotters truck though finish line for annual run
Runners take off during the Schriever 2017 Turkey Trot 2.5-mile run, Nov. 17, 2017. Airmen and their families were able to take part in the run, with prizes and t-shirts awaiting them at the finish line.
By 2nd Lt. Scarlett Rodriguez 50th Space Wing Public Affairs
More than 140 runners braved harsh winds during the annual Turkey Trot 2.5-mile run outside the Schriever Fitness Center Nov. 17. “I was glad the fitness center still put it on despite the conditions,” said 2nd Lt. Veronica Leddy, 50th Civil Engineering Squadron operations engineering chief. “[The wind] made it rough, especially running into the wind up that big hill at the end, but I didn’t mind.” Leddy was one of the first runners to cross the finish line, and the first female to complete the run overall. “This year, my squadron actually used this race as our P.T.,” Leddy said. “It was really fun being out there with my entire squadron and we actually had three people finish in the top four which was cool- plus I think most, if not all, of us finished with t-shirts.” Staff Sgt. Christopher Anderson, 50th CES pavements and equipment craftsman, was the first male to cross the finish line at the trot, seemingly undeterred by the winds. “The weather wasn’t optimal with the high winds but they only really affected me near the end when you turned into them by housing,” Anderson said. “The wind may have shaved a couple seconds off my finishing time but it didn’t do anything drastic.” The first three male and female runners to cross the finish line were awarded for their speediness with not only a t-shirt to commemorate the run, but with gift cards ranging from $25 to $75 depending on their placement. “The fitness center gives great prizes for these races, which is awesome,” Leddy said. “I won a $75 gift card. “I plan on coupling with my other gift card from the half marathon and hopefully stretching it for five Christmas gifts for my little siblings,” she laughed. Mark Schuette, 50th Force Support Squadron assistant fitness and sports manager, expressed his happiness with the turnout of the event. “We used to run it in conjunction with the wing run, it’s been a while since it was just the Turkey Trot, so we were kind of expecting our numbers to be low, and it was windy,” he said. “I was actually pleasantly surprised with how many people showed up, we had 144 people check in and there were a few who couldn’t check in.” He explained some runners had come barreling past the finish line straight from the street, running late for the initial take off. Schuette was sure the eagerness stemmed from the free t-shirts at the end. “Some people were disappointed when we ran out,” he said. “People enjoy the t-shirts, some people like the camaraderie, and some people like the competition.”
Second Lt. Veronica Leddy, 50th Civil Engineering Squadron operations engineering chief, nears the finish line during Schriever’s 2017 iteration of the annual Turkey Trot, outside the fitness center at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, Nov. 17, 2017. Leddy ran a time of 16:25, earning her first place in the women’s division.
The top three males were:
15:45, Staff Sgt. Christopher Andrews, 50th Civil Engineering Squadron 16:01, Capt. Matthew Cork, 3rd Space Experimentation Squadron 16:14, Capt. Ryan Combest, 50th Civil Engineering Squadron
The top three females were:
16:25, 2nd Lt. Veronica Leddy, 50th Civil Engineering Squadron 19:10, Bethany Bushhouse, 50th Operations Support Squadron 19:23, Capt. Genelle Martinez, National Space Defense Center

THANK YOU to the honest person who turned in my brown leather backpack purse which I must have left in the electric cart basket at the PAFB Commissary on October 27th. It’s heartwarming to know that there are honest people who do the right thing, and I really appreciate you turning it into the lost and found at the commissary. Bless You! Charlene P.
