SpaceX Launches Military and Internet Satellites from Vandenberg and Sea
SpaceX is set to launch a new generation of military satellites from Vandenberg Space Force Base aboard a Falcon 9 rocket for a mission that also includes the first-stage booster's return to the Central Coast. The rocket will carry a payload for the Space Development Agency, which works to quickly deliver space-based capabilities to warfighters with an eye toward speed and lower costs for an acquisition process that typically takes years. The rocket will reportedly carry multiple satellites under the recently renamed "Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture" or PWSA, formerly known as the "National Defense Space Architecture."
