The first Slovakian F-16 Block 70 aircraft has arrived at Morris Air National Guard Base in Arizona, allowing Slovakian pilots to gain proficiency in their aircraft while integrating with U.S. fighter and support aircraft. The F-16 Block 70 will bolster Slovakia’s defense capability and increase interoperability with U.S. and NATO forces. 🇸🇰

Diversity is a force multiplier for innovation. This month team members focused on the power of storytelling and were encouraged to share their diverse backgrounds during our PRIDE business resource group’s annual leadership forum.

Deterrence delivered from coast to coast. 🌊 As the most capable multi-mission combat system deployed today, Aegis integrates a broad range of sensors, radars and command and control programs to ensure operators have the information they need. The US Navy and six international allies rely daily on the technology powering Aegis. Learn more: https://lmt.co/45FhJTQ

Relive the incredible journey that brought NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration's GOES-U weather observation satellite, the fourth and final of the GOES-R Series, successfully into orbit. It will provide advanced imagery, real-time mapping of lightning activity and persistent monitoring of solar activity and space weather. Following GOES-U, we were selected by NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration to develop the nation's next generation weather satellite constellation, GeoXO, for NOAA. GeoXO's new capabilities will deliver more accurate weather forecasting and address emerging environmental issues and challenges.

Last week, our team joined forces with the Texas Rangers and Science of Sport for an action-packed #STEM summer camp, featuring a special visit from Texas Rangers pitcher Jacob Latz! Students dove into exciting topics like aerodynamics, stadium design and player statistics. ⚾🏆 For more on how we are inspiring the next generation of innovators and fostering curiosity in the minds of tomorrow's leaders, visit: https://lmt.co/45JxHwb

We have liftoff! GOES-U is on its way to provide meteorologists in the U.S. and western hemisphere with crystal-clear images of severe storms, hurricanes, wildfires and other weather hazards faster than ever before.

Nothing better than a sunrise on the space coast! The sun rose this morning over Kennedy Space Center's launch pad 39A, where SpaceX's Falcon Heavy lay waiting to liftoff with the GOES-U weather observation spacecraft we built for NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration. GOES-U is set to revolutionize weather forecasting and environmental monitoring. Launch is slated for later this evening, with the two-hour launch window opening at 5:16 pm ET.

From real-time weather updates to predictive forecasting, the GOES-R series we built for NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration has kept a watchful eye on Earth’s ever-changing weather for nearly a decade. Looking ahead, the next-gen GeoXO satellite system, will expand on GOES-R's capabilities with advanced imaging and new observations for severe weather and climate change risk mitigation. As we celebrate the final launch in the series, learn more about the future of Earth and space weather technology. https://lmt.co/4cBkjwC
