CAMP BUEHRING, Kuwait (Jan 16, 2009) – Arizona Air National Guard MSgt. Jake Martinez shows the SkySat payload to 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit Commanding Officer Col. Mark Desens and 26th MEU Operations Officer Lt. Col. Walter Sopp as the SkySat balloon inflates behind them. SkySat could one day help Marines in the field with handheld radios communicate as far as 500 miles, regardless of terrain. 26th MEU Marines learned about the system Jan. 12 and got hands-on with the gear during the next several days.
