Rocket’s red glare
Soldiers from the 1st Space Company, 1st Space Battalion, participate in their first “Adopt-A-Missile” workday at the Peterson Air Force Base museum in Colorado. The Soldiers gave a much needed cleaning to the museum’s Nike Ajax surface to air missile display. The Nike Ajax was the U.S. Army’s first operational guided SAM and saw service defending U.S. cities from air attack from 1954 to 1963. The 1st Space Battalion is assigned to the Army Space and Missile Defense Command at Peterson. Team Peterson organizations interested in adopting a museum aircraft or missile can contact Jeff Nash at 556-8314. (U.S. Air Force photo/Jeff Nash)
