Space Delta 6 (DEL 6) is a United States Space Force unit which assures access to space through the $6.8 billion Satellite Control Network and defensive cyberspace capabilities for space mission systems.[5]
Tracing its history to 1965, the delta is headquartered at Schriever Space Force Base, Colorado.[6][7][8] It replaced the 50th Network Operations Group, which had been part of the former 50th Space Wing.[8][9] On 23 June 2021, the 614th Air and Space Communications Squadron, previously under Space Delta 5, was redesignated as the 65th Cyber Squadron and transferred into Space Delta 6.[10]
