"Space Force Plans First Orbital Military Exercise with Rocket Lab and True Anomaly"

The US Space Force is teaming up with Rocket Lab and True Anomaly for a groundbreaking mission called Victus Haze, aiming to demonstrate the military's ability to counter "on-orbit aggression." In this exercise, a spacecraft from Rocket Lab will pursue and inspect a satellite made by True Anomaly, simulating a response to potential threats from adversaries like China or Russia. This mission is part of the Space Force's efforts to validate Tactically Responsive Space capabilities and compress the time it takes to prepare and launch satellites, with the goal of being able to respond rapidly to on-orbit aggression.
