A C-17 Globemaster III assigned to the 436th Airlift Wing, Dover Air Force Base, DE, lands at Yokota Air Base, Japan, May 10, 2023. The two units assisted the U.S. Space Force Space Systems Command (SSC) to deliver a second payload to be hosted on Japan’s Geo-based Quasi-Zenith Satellite System. As the payloads arrive in Japan, the SSC program will then begin the next stage of integration with QZSS host satellites and prepare for launch, effectively unifying the two nations in space.
