To Neptune and Back: SBD 1 Opens Solar System Trail
U.S. Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Joseph Joslin, Space Base Delta 1 senior enlisted airman, left, stands with U.S. Space Force Col. Kenneth Klock, SBD 1 commander, middle, and U.S. Space Force Chief Master Sgt. Martha Burkhead, SBD 1 senior enlisted leader, right, as they cut the ribbon to officially announce the opening of the Solar System Trail at Peterson Space Force Base, Colorado, March 17, 2026. The Solar System Trail’s opening date significance can be traced back over 50 years to the launch of Vanguard 1, the first satellite put on orbit to use solar panels for power, and the second satellite ever launched by the USA.
