Pentagon Space Test Program News Today

The US Space Force's unfunded project list includes classified programs and infrastructure needs, such as communications and launch capabilities.

Among the unclassified programs listed, the Space Force could use an additional $160 million to establish a "working capital fund" to be used for purchasing commercial satellite communications.

An experimental military project that will test laser beaming technology has arrived at the International Space Station and will spend a year in orbit, Navy officials said.

AFRL's experimental CubeSat, called Recurve, uses artificial intelligence/machine learning to autonomously decide how to route data through large constellations of interlinked satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO).

The two shoebox-sized CubeSats will each carry five miniature sensors, two provided by the Naval Research Lab and three by the UK Defence Science and Technology Lab.
