SPACE FORCE FLAG - Nylon

The history of the United States Space Force flag is relatively recent, closely mirroring the establishment of this new military branch. The Space Force was officially created as an independent service branch on December 20, 2019, with the signing of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020. As a result of this establishment, the need for an official flag arose to symbolize the Space Force's mission to protect U.S. interests in space and maintain space superiority.

The design of the Space Force flag was unveiled shortly after its establishment and was officially adopted on May 15, 2020. The flag features a black field with a delta wing, a stylized silver globe representing Earth, and a cluster of white stars. The delta wing signifies the Space Force's commitment to air and space, while the globe represents the Earth and its space domain. The stars emphasize the Space Force's role in organizing, training, and equipping space professionals to protect U.S. interests in the space environment.

The Space Force flag symbolizes this new branch's critical role in ensuring the nation's security and technological advantage in the ever-expanding realm of space. It is used to represent the Space Force at official events, ceremonies, and installations, reflecting its dedication to advancing and protecting U.S. interests in the space domain and beyond. As a result, the Space Force flag has quickly become a recognizable emblem of the United States' commitment to space exploration and security in the 21st century.
