US' New Spy Satellite Constellation: Another Small Step Toward Militarization of Space
The Space Systems Command, a US Space Force agency, at El Segundo, California is contracting activity that will oversee the work, the Defense Department revealed.
Work on the contract is expected to be completed by September of 2024, the release said.
