Reuters reports that SpaceX’s Starshield unit has a $1.8 billion contract for hundreds of satellites to help “quickly spot potential targets almost anywhere on the globe.”
SpaceX’s Starshield unit has had a classified contract with the US National Reconnaissance Office since 2021 to build a network of “hundreds” of spy satellites for the agency, Reuters reports today, citing unnamed sources “familiar with the program.” A Wall Street Journal report in February listed a classified $1.8 billion SpaceX contract with a then-unnamed government agency.

SpaceX describes Starshield as a government-focused secure satellite network, and Elon Musk tweeted it “will be owned by the US government and controlled by DoD Space Force.
