Sean Jeffers, 2d Range Operations Squadron Optical Instrumentation and Spectrum Operations flight director, center, welcomes U.S. Space Force Lt. Col. Ralph Salazar, 2 ROPS commander, left, and U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Seth Poulsen, 30th Civil Engineer Squadron commander, during a groundbreaking ceremony at Santa Ynez peak, Calif., April 1, 2026. The ceremony marked the official beginning of construction of a secure storage facility for high-power telescopes and tracking systems used by the 2 ROPS Mobile Optics team. The equipment is vital to capturing technical imagery of launch and test missions from Vandenberg. The new building aims to eliminate the risk and inefficiency of transporting the equipment between Vandenberg facilities and Santa Ynez peak. (U.S. Space Force photo by Staff Sgt. Kevin Hernandez)
