The US Space Force has awarded SpaceX a contract worth $2.29 billion to develop a network for distributing space-based sensing and targeting data. This initiative aims to create a new communications network in low-Earth orbit, following delays in previous Pentagon projects. The Space Systems Command announced the agreement, stating that it will enhance the delivery of a resilient, high-speed communications network in space. The network will utilize technology from SpaceX's Starlink constellation and will likely incorporate the Starshield platform, which is designed for military applications.
