Audit of DoD Maintenance of Space Launch Equipment and Facilities (DODIG-2022-048)
Publicly Released: January 7, 2022
The objective of this audit was to determine the extent to which the DoD maintained the equipment and infrastructure needed to support space launches and whether DoD facilities could support future launch requirements. We reviewed the Space Force’s maintenance of launch range items at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, and Patrick Space Force Base, Florida, and we determined whether range items enabled successful space launches.
