The intelligence agency didn\u2019t detail how many satellites were launched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe NROL-146 mission that launched today reflects the NRO\u2019s commitment to developing innovative, faster, and more resilient technologies and providing greater capabilities to our IC, DoD, and allied partners,\u201d Director Chris Scolese said in the statement. \u201cThese systems provide key information that can only be obtained from the vantage point of space.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agency <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2024\/04\/09\/spy-agency-eyes-may-launch-of-first-proliferated-constellation\/\" target=\"_blank\">has been developing the constellation<\/a> over the past few years and has flown multiple demonstration satellites to validate its concept for a proliferated architecture. Officials have refused to describe the envisioned scope of the effort, but NRO plans to conduct five more launches this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More missions are expected through 2028 and beyond, according to Troy Meink, NRO\u2019s deputy director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOver the next decade, we will continue to increase the number of satellites operating across multiple orbits \u2014 complementing the NRO\u2019s cutting-edge, highly-capable satellites that are the traditional hallmark of the NRO by adding responsive, proliferated systems,\u201d Meink said in the statement. \u201cOur proliferated systems will increase timeliness of access, diversify communications pathways, and enhance our resilience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NRO designs, launches and operates spy satellites for the U.S. government. In recent years, it has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2022\/05\/25\/national-reconnaissance-office-expands-use-of-commercial-satellite-imagery\/\" target=\"_blank\">expanded its use of commercial services<\/a> to enhance and augment the capabilities provided by the satellites it owns and operates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While officials haven\u2019t identified which companies are building its new satellite constellation, Reuters previously reported that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/aerospace-defense\/northrop-grumman-working-with-musks-spacex-us-spy-satellite-system-2024-04-18\/\" target=\"_blank\">Northrop Grumman and SpaceX are involved in the effort<\/a>. The agency\u2019s principal deputy director said in April at the Space Symposium in Colorado Springs that it would be a hybrid architecture, indicating it likely involves a mix of defense and non-traditional firms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NRO\u2019s pursuit of a proliferated satellite fleet composed of large numbers of small spacecraft is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2022\/12\/05\/how-the-space-development-agency-could-have-died-any-number-of-ways\/\" target=\"_blank\">similar to that of the Space Development Agency<\/a>, which is working with industry to field hundreds of missile tracking and communication satellites in the coming years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The
