The Delta Wing evokes historic ties to the earliest days of the U.S. Air Force space community, and symbolizes change and innovation.

The white Polaris symbolizes the guiding light of security and alludes to a constant presence and vigilance in space now and in the future. Two clusters of small stars represent the space assets developed, maintained, and operated by the U.S. Space Force. The three larger stars symbolize the Organize, Train, and Equip functions of the Space Force.
