The 45th Space Wing Socials program

The 45th Space Wing “Socials” Program offers the unique opportunity for social media followers of the 45th Space Wing to learn more about who we are and what we do to assure safe and reliable access to space for the DoD, NASA and all of our launch partners using our launch pads and facilities.

This program will include receiving special social media credentials for specific launches at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, as well as exclusive invitations to attend unique behind the scenes events designed specifically for those interested in sharing our story using social media outlets. These Socials also provides a chance for social media users to get similar access as traditional media in an effort to cover CCAFS, the World’s Premier Gateway to Space.

Social media users who spread the latest space news on various space & non-space related social networking platforms are encouraged to fill out the social media application and send it to 45swpa@us.af.mil. Those chosen must prove through the registration process they meet specific engagement criteria. All social media applications will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Make sure to mark the box indicating that you would like to be added to the distribution list to receive the latest 45th Social announcements by email.

Our “Socials” are designed for social media users who follow @45thSpaceWing on a variety of social media platforms. These events are targeted at the social media followers of the 45th Space Wing through platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
