Materials experiment returns to Earth
The Materials International Space Station Experiment or MISSE is observed outside the shuttle orbiter Discovery during the STS-133 mission in March 2011. Air Force Research Laboratory scientists completed the seventh in a series of materials-related experiments June 1, 2011 when the experiments returned to earth after 18 months in space. (NASA Photo)
Radar relocation worked at millions in taxpayer savings
Airmen place a radar atop a new tower at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio in this September 2010 photo. BRAC-directed relocation of four Air Force Research Laboratory research radar systems from Rome N.Y. to Wright-Patterson is now nearly complete. Air National Guard and active duty engineering installation squadron personnel and active duty RED HORSE squadron engineers teamed to perform the installation for millions of dollars less than contractor estimates for the project.

Air National Guard Airmen support AFRL radar relocation
Tech. Sgt. Brian McCarty marks a properly tightened bolt and nut during construction of a 100' radar tower May 20, 2011 at Springfield Air National Guard Base, Ohio. Air National Guard Airmen from six states helped construct four towers and install radars to provide the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base with the capability to conduct advanced sensors research. BRAC 2005 decisions directed relocation of the research radars from Rome, N.Y. Sergeant McCarty is with the 220th Engineering Installation Squadron, based in Zanesville, Ohio.
