The Space Force is poised to launch 100 or more satellites into orbit in 2025, the service’s top intelligence officer said this week—nearly doubling the previously known number of USSF spacecraft.
“The Space Force will add over 100 satellites just in 2025,” Maj. Gen. Gregory Gagnon said at an event held by Center for Strategic and International Studies on March 20. “That is to add resilient capabilities for our winning capabilities, missile warning and missile track, secure communications for the force, and, of course, reconnaissance and sensing that allows us to close long-range fires on a on a scale that no other country can really do.”
