This week we visit Utah! The Beehive State is home to Hill Air Force Base, which is home for depot maintenance for aircraft like the F-16, F-22, F-35, and the Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile. It is also home to the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center and one of the best air museums in the nation. On the space side, Utah State University participates in NASA’s Gateway Space program and has placed more student satellite programs in space than any other university.
