The Space Cowboys, consisting of members from the 2d Space Launch Squadron, pose for a group photo in front of a Minotaur rocket at Space Launch Complex 8 at Vandenberg Space Force Base, Calif., April 10, 2025. The Space Cowboys are trained to conduct the handling, transport, and emplacement of Minotaur rocket motors. Their capabilities enable small launch missions to be executed from multiple national launch sites, including VSFB, Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, Kodiak Launch Complex in Alaska, and the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
