SpaceX's ties to US national security have been further revealed in a recent Reuters report. The company secured a $1.8 billion deal in 2021 with an American intelligence agency to develop a network of spy satellites. This initiative, in collaboration with the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), aims to bolster the US military and intelligence agencies' ability to identify targets globally.
The NRO spokesperson emphasized the agency's commitment to building a robust space-based intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance system. The satellite network's advanced capabilities are expected to significantly enhance tracking and monitoring capabilities, leaving no room for targets to hide.
