 U. S. Space Force Spec. Alejandro Lopez II, 16th Electromagnetic Warfare Squadron, works alongside Colombian Air Force partners to load gear and equipment onto a Colombian Air Force C-130 as part of Operation Thundergun Express, a 21-day space deployment exercise nested under Resolute Sentinel 23. This rapid move and reset showcased the space team’s ability to quickly move in the area of operations, assuring uninterrupted space domain awareness and command and control, and achieving freedom of action to accomplish the commander’s intent.
 Teams load the Olympus Bolt intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance and Multi-band Assessment of the Communication Environment (MACE) systems onto a Colombian Air Force C-130 as part of Operation Thundergun Express, a 21-day space deployment exercise nested under Resolute Sentinel 23. This quick move demonstrates the proactive maneuver concept for space Agile Combat Employment, as the space team used portable commercial off-the-shelf systems for the exercise.
 A coalition space team of U. S. Space Force Guardians, Colombian Air Force Guardianes, and Ecuadorian Air Force members deploy an Olympus Bolt intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance sensor at a forward operating location in Rionegro, Colombia, after a rapid relocation from its previous deployment in Cali, Colombia. The deployment was part of Operation Thundergun Express, a 21-day space deployment exercise nested under Resolute Sentinel 23. This antenna, designed for rapid deployment, forms a crucial component of space Agile Combat Employment.
 U. S. Space Force Sgt. Gaston Garces, Space Delta 7, trains Colombian Air Force Tech. Sgt. Andres Henao on the Multi-band Assessment of the Communication Environment (MACE) system as part of Operation Thundergun Express, a 21-day space deployment exercise nested under Resolute Sentinel 23. MACE is a rapidly-deployable, cost-effective, user friendly spectrum analysis and monitoring tool that was key in demonstrating space Agile Combat Employment capabilities during the exercise.

 Diversifying orbits is a key part of Hon. Frank Calvelli’s space resilience strategy. Delivering space-based capabilities from multiple orbits – instead of just one – spreads the risk of interruption or failure due to environmental, accidental or adversarial causes.  But a capability that shines in Low Earth Orbit may completely fail in Medium Earth Orbit or Geosynchronous Orbit.  How does SSC match the right technology to the right orbital path? It starts with understanding the opportunities and challenges unique to each orbit. In the first of this three-part series, we take a look at the area of space known as Low Earth Orbit.
