Space Force Awards $437.7 Million for Anti-Jam Satellites

The US Space Force has awarded $437.7 million to Viasat and Intelsat to develop anti-jam satellites, a crucial component of its resilient communication architecture that will enable tactical warfighters to stay connected in denied environments. This move is a significant step towards countering emerging threats and ensuring secure…

Weekend Reading from TechAptitude!

One of our most popular posts - LASERS in SPACE! :-)

U.S. Space Force is deploying space based optical/laser communications as the primary network/data transport layer for its Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA).

This raises more questions that answers..... gotta see this work to believe it!

Offshore Launch Platform "Gateway" - a purpose-built semi-submersible drone ship from vendor SeaGate, will launch Firefly’s Alpha rocket, a two-stage, liquid-fueled small-lift vehicle offshore.

Claims it will leverage Seagate’s maritime logistics to transport and stage the LIQUID FUELED Alpha rocket entirely offshore >>> really ???? https://satnews.com/2026/05/04/lockheed-martin-firefly-and-seagate-partner-for-sea-based-national-security-launch/ #Space #Seagate #Firefly #RocketLaunch #LockheedMartin #DoD #Satellite #SpaceCraft #Rocket #USSF #SpaceForce

GPS News!

DoD punts project to build the next generation Operational Control System (called OCX) for the GPS satellite system. https://aviationweek.com/space/satellites/us-space-force-cancels-long-troubled-gps-ground-system

10th and final GPS-3 satellite launches. These are the latest upgrades to the Global Positioning System to improve accuracy, stronger anti-jamming capability. https://spacenews.com/falcon-9-launches-final-gps-3-satellite-into-orbit-for-u-s-space-force/

Heads up! Satellite incoming!

Originally predicted to re-enter Earth’s atmosphere in 2034, the U.S. Space Force (USSF) confirmed that the Van Allen Probe A spacecraft re-entered the atmosphere over the eastern Pacific Ocean region at 6:37 am. EDT on Wed, Mar 11.

NASA expected most of the spacecraft to burn up as it traveled through the atmosphere, but some components may have survived re-entry.

Scientists confirmed the sun had reached its solar maximum, triggering intense space weather events which increased atmospheric drag on the spacecraft beyond initial estimates, resulting in the early re-entry. https://www.nasa.gov/missions/van-allen-probes/nasa-van-allen-probe-a-to-re-enter-atmosphere/ #NASA #USSF #VanAllenProbe #Space #SpaceCraft #Re-Entry #Satellite #EarthOrbit #Sun #spaceWeather #Atmosphere

SpaceX burrows in deeper with new contract with the US Space Force (USSF).

USSF has confirmed its partnership with SpaceX to deploy a new dedicated military satellite communications architecture “MILNET".

MILNET is designed to operate as a high-capacity “backbone” layer and will ultilize 480 satellites designed to provide high-bandwidth, resilient communications.

The USSF expects the first batch of dedicated MILNET satellites to begin deployment in mid-2026 with operating capability projected for late 2027. https://news.satnews.com/2025/12/29/u-s-space-force-and-spacex-partner-to-develop-480-satellite-milnet-constellation/ #Space #SpaceX #USSF #SpaceForce #USGov #Military #Milnet #Satellite
