SMC Heritage Center The SMC Heritage Center is a heritage activity of the National Museum of the United States Air Force which allows the Space and Missile Systems Center at Los Angeles Air Force Base in El Segundo, Calif. to display collections of artifacts about SMC's history. The SMC Heritage Center opened a new central display area on Oct. 22, 2014. Its mission is to collect, preserve and provide information about the programs, accomplishments, and heritage of the Space and Missile Systems Center and the space missions of the United States Air Force. Displays are included on the ground floor lobby areas of Bldgs. 270 and 271, and in the new SMC Heritage Center, located on the ground floor of Bldg. 271 in Room B1-516-525. The displays include new graphics, scale models, and artifacts dealing with the history of programs such as the Air Force Satellite Control Network (AFSCN), Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicles (EELV), Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS), and others. The SMC Heritage Center also features a large time line of SMC's accomplishments and facsimiles of important early space documents such as early RAND Corporation (Research ANd Development[) studies of a military satellite system and the 1955 King briefing for Gen. Schriever on transferring WS 117L from the Wright Air Development Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio to the Western Development Division in El Segundo, Calif.
