STARCOM Azimuth Flight Service

The United States Space Force (USSF) Space Delta 1, Detachment 1 Azimuth program is a unique summer space education and training program for military cadets hosted at the U.S. Air Force Academy. It offers an immersive introduction to physical operations in the space domain. The program includes academics, industry and military visits, neutral buoyancy, microgravity, and rocket building.

Cadets experience the effects of lunar, Martian, and microgravity by flying on a modified aircraft and performing demonstrations and research experiments in simulated space environments. The Space Delta 1, Detachment 1 program inspires cadets to become officers of character to lead the Space Force. It helps prepare future Guardians to prevail in competition and conflict through innovative education, training, doctrine and testing. Azimuth also fosters connections and joint capabilities to guide a greater understanding of space.
