Saltzman: Space ‘baked into’ modern combat operations

Saltzman: Space ‘baked into' modern combat operations

SpaceNews

The U.S. Space Force officially took ownership of the GPS Next Generation Operational Control System, or OCX, from contractor RTX on July 1, 2025, yet it is still not operational!

The OCX program is a large-scale, highly complex ground control system designed to operate the most modern fleet of GPS satellites, GPS III.

The Space Force operates a fleet of 32 GPS satellites, which serve both military users and civilians. The GPS III satellites, nine of which have been launched, are more jam-resistant and precise than older variants. See my article on GPS Jamming here: https://techaptitude.substack.com/p/gps-jamming-the-risks-are-real?r=vn8b8

OCX was originally to be delivered in 2016 for a cost of $3.7 billion. The cost estimate for OCX has ballooned to nearly $8 billion, and its persistent delays have earned it a reputation within the space community as a “troubled” program. https://www.airandspaceforces.com/pentagon-eyes-canceling-troubled-gps-ground-system/ #GPS #UDSF #SpaceForce #GPSIII #OCX #Pentagon #DoD #Satellites #Navigation #Security

NASA works with the US military, including the Air Force and Space Force. And they sent a song by #MissyElliot to Venus?

In her song: “The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)”

Who is the fly?

Men have for many generations worshiped the lord of the FLY. The Bible names him Beelzebub, another name for Satan.

I wonder what she and the Supa Dupa Fly think about military men.
