"Space Force Deploys Advanced Spy Satellites for Surveillance Missions"

The US Space Force launched a rocket carrying American spy satellites into a high-altitude geosynchronous orbit, as part of a top-secret National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) mission called "Silent Barker." The satellites will provide better surveillance capabilities in the "geo belt" and help detect any adversarial assets that could pose a threat in outer space. The launch highlights the fierce competition among world powers to dominate space, with concerns rising over Russia and China's development of anti-satellite technologies. The Space Force aims to have a fully operational spy spacecraft system by 2026.
