Space Systems Operations

The Air Force operates the largest space program in the world, and as a Space Systems Operations Specialist in the Air National Guard, you’ll be an important part of that. In this job, you’ll learn to detect and track missile launches using a variety of ground and space-based sensors; plan and execute satellite contacts; resolve emergencies; perform satellite commanding during launch, early orbit, daily operations, and end-of-life testing; and perform launch and on-orbit operations for military satellites. Life as a Space Systems Operations Specialist is never boring and will challenge your ability to keep calm under pressure while communicating with expert skill.
