  • The Space Development Agency will become part of the Space Force by October 2022, SDA Director Derek Tournear told reporters Tuesday, according to Defense News.
  • The Space Force shared the first glimpse of its new uniform in a weekend tweet. The camo design is based on Air Force and Army uniforms, which DOD said was more efficient than starting over.
