The 117th Space Battalion is a battalion of the Colorado National Guard constituted in 2006.[1][2] Nicknamed the "Space Cowboys", by 2018 the unit was one of the most deployed in the National Guard of the United States.[3]

On 20 October 2007 the provisional 193rd Space Battalion became a permanent-status unit, the 117th Space Battalion.[4] The 117th Space Battalion is not part of 1st Space Brigade and is controlled by the National Guard. However, it has a Training, Readiness, Oversight (TRO) relationship with 1st Space Brigade.
