SPACE DELTA 7 “BROADMOOR HANGAR” RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY (Photo) -02/03/25
PETERSON SPACE FORCE BASE, Colo. -- Media outlets are invited onto Peterson Space Force Base to cover the Space Delta 7 - Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance "Broadmoor Hangar" Ribbon Cutting Ceremony here, Feb. 7 at 1 p.m.
The event, hosted at the on-base "Broadmoor Hangar," will celebrate the completion of a $3.55 million remodeling project to equip the hangar with modern day infrastructure and convert the premises to support over 100 Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility workstations and a 28-seat classroom. The use of the existing infrastructure is not only a responsible use of funds and physical space, but it also allows the installation to retain facilities tied to Department of the Air Force heritage.
Space weapon system infrastructure represents a strategic imperative for operational readiness and is a key component to meet modernization and resiliency commitments as outlined in the National Defense Strategy and National Military Strategy. Space weapons systems cannot operate without certain infrastructure, facilities and communication nodes. This facility meets the needs of current and future requirements for Space Delta 7.
Col. Phoenix Hauser, Space Delta 7 - Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance commander, is expected to speak on the significance of this event and what it means for the U.S. Space Force. Media is limited to only using remarks made during the ceremony.
