New set of tracking satellites to detect and track advanced missiles threats !

The Space Development Agency(SDA) selected three companies to build 18 satellites each for its space-based missile warning, tracking, and defense constellation.
The total value of the contract for the supply of 54 satellites is worth $2.5 billion.

The satellites will make up a portion of what SDA calls its Tranche 2 Tracking Layer, which will detect and track advanced missiles from low Earth orbit, about 1,200 miles or 1,930 km above the planet’s surface.

This step has long term implications.
