HUGE EVENT! A C-5M Super Galaxy Transports An Extremely DELICATE, EXPENSIVE & IMPORTANT Military Space Surveillance Satellite!

This is a real treat, folks, watch and marvel as one of the world’s largest and greatest transport aircraft—the C-5M Super Galaxy—is carefully loaded, at a Lockheed Martin facility in Mountain View, California, with the latest Space Based Infrared System Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (SBIRS GEO-5) satellite; which is then safely transported and unloaded at Cape Canaveral, Florida, the following day.

(The SBIRS GEO-5 satellite will launch later this year, joining four other geosynchronous SBIRS, providing an increased capability to detect missile launches anywhere in the world to defend the United States.)
