Elon Musk’s SpaceX Is Secretly Building A Huge Spy Satellite Network For The US Government

Sharing is Caring!

SpaceX, the aerospace manufacturer founded by Elon Musk, is currently developing a network of spy satellites for a U.S. intelligence agency.

This initiative, which underscores the growing partnership between SpaceX and national security agencies, involves constructing hundreds of satellites under a classified contract valued at $1.8 billion with the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), according to Reuters, which cited sources familiar with the project.

The contract, signed in 2021, tasks SpaceX’s Starshield business unit with creating a sophisticated satellite system to enhance the U.S. government and military’s global surveillance capabilities.
