As Hurricane Katrina struck the base, rising waters swallowed cars parked along streets. The base and the 6,000 sheltered military students, permanent party, civilians and their families survived the Category 4 hurricane with no casualties. The initial damage was catastrophic to base infrastructure. (U.S. Air Force file photo)

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket settles gently back to Earth at Landing Zone 1 (formerly Launch Complex 13) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station less than 10 minutes after it took off from Launch Complex 40 a little more than 5 miles north. It marked the first time a rocket delivered satellites to orbit (11 on this particular mission), then returned to land safely.

The twin streaks of light represent a time lapse photo showing both the launch and landing of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, which completed the round trip from Earth to space (where the rocket placed 11 satellites in orbit) and back in roughly 10 minutes. The Falcon blasted off from Launch Complex 40 at nearby Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, then executed a perfect vertical landing and the former Launch Complex 13 -- now Landing Zone 1 -- a little more than five miles south from where it took off. It marked the first time a rocket delivered spacecraft into orbit and returned safely to Earth. SpaceX hopes to reuse their rockets, greatly reducing the cost of their space program.

A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket blasts off Dec. 6 at 4:44 p.m. from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., en route to the International Space Station. The rocket was carrying the Cygnus resupply spacecraft, which is due to deliver roughly 7,700 pounds of supplies to the ISS Dec. 9.

Staff Sgt. Leland Hastings, 919th Special Operations Security Forces Squadron, launches Raven-B, a four-by-four foot unmanned aerial system, into the skies above Camp Guernsey, Wyo., Aug. 4. The 919th SOSFS brought the UAS to demonstrate its capabilities to other security forces units involved in a large field training exercise at the camp. The Raven-B has the ability to take photos, video in day or night, and even designate locations via an IR laser. It also provides coordinates, magnetic azimuths, and linear distances creating a birds-eye view to topographical map. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Sam King)

The U.S. Air Force’s 45th Space Wing helped successfully launch the fourth Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) satellite aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Launch Complex 40 here Sept. 2, 2015, from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., at 6:18 a.m. EDT. The U.S. Navy-delivered MUOS is a next-generation narrowband tactical satellite communications system, built by Lockheed Martin, designed to significantly improve ground communications for U.S. forces on the move.

Passengers prepare for takeoff on their way to McMurdo Station, Antarctica, on a U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III at Christchurch International Airport, New Zealand, Aug. 23, 2015. These passengers will be working for the National Science Foundation-managed U.S. Antarctic Program, a program that has been conducting scientific research in the area since 1956.

A U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III from Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, taxis to a parking spot at Christchurch International Airport, New Zealand, Aug. 21, 2015. The aircraft was used to fly missions to Antarctica in support of the U.S. Antarctic Program’s WINFLY. WINFLY missions are flown using night vision goggles, because the sun doesn’t rise during winter in Antarctica. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Madelyn McCullough

WINFLY takes place at the end of the Antarctic winter when the sun first begins rising over the Southern Hemisphere. Deep Freeze is a multi-agency operation, the military component of the U.S. Antarctic Program, which is managed by the National Science Foundation.
