It has arrived!

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- A C-17 aircraft is taxiing in before stopping to drop off the Defense Meteorological Satellites Program, (DMSP), satellite, here on Dec. 14. The DMSP satellite monitors solar-terrestrial physics and provides photographic reconnaissance and surveillance for the U.S. Department of Defense. It's a valuable tool in scheduling and protecting military operations in the Air Force. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Ashley Tyler)

Move it in!

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- The Defense Meteorological Satellites Program satellite is transported into the "clean room" to be uncovered, here on Dec. 14. The DMSP satellite monitors solar-terrestrial physics and provides photographic reconnaissance and surveillance for the U.S. Department of Defense. It's a valuable tool in scheduling and protecting military operations in the Air Force. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Ashley Tyler)
