"US Deploys Advanced Satellites to Enhance Missile Detection Capabilities in Space"

The US launched six satellites, including two from the Missile Defense Agency and four from the Space Development Agency, capable of detecting global missile launches into orbit, following concerns about Russia's space-based weapons capability. The satellites will detect hypersonic, ballistic, and other advanced threats earlier than terrestrial radars. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner raised an alarm about a "serious national security threat" related to Russia's space capabilities, specifically its nuclear capabilities in space, which could potentially threaten US military communications and reconnaissance. White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan will discuss the Russian threat with members of Congress.
