U.S. Space Force Lt. Col. Ralph Salazar, 2nd Range Operations Squadron commander, hangs a patch frame on the Pacific Coast Center heritage room wall during a patching ceremony to celebrate the GT-256 unarmed Minuteman III test launch at Vandenberg Space Force Base, Calif., May 21, 2026. Each patching ceremony commemorates Vandenberg's launches and highlights the launch and support teams that enable the mission. This Intercontinental Ballistic Missile test launch, designated Glory Trip 256, was scheduled years ago, and is not in response to world events.
