"SpaceX Launches 10 Military Satellites from Vandenberg Space Force Base"

SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket carrying 10 military satellites for the Space Development Agency's Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture from Vandenberg Space Force Base. The new system aims to speed up the process of ordering and launching spacecraft to become more agile. The satellites will move data, such as targeting information from troops in the field to centers around the world and back to weapon systems, and provide advanced missile detection. The system will be fielded using a spiral approach, with delivery of the Tranche 1 satellites expected to begin in September 2024 and involve 11 launches of the tracking and transport craft.
