The U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School convenes the first-ever Space Test Fundamentals course Jan. 4, 2021. The selection board results were announced Dec. 10.
“This important milestone would not have been possible without the vision of U.S. Space Force leaders. The value of agile, disciplined test and evaluation spans all domains, which is why the Air Force Test Pilot School has developed this unique test fundamentals course for space professionals,” said Maj. Gen. Christopher Azzano, Air Force Test Center commander.
