Space Force Eyes Commercial Antennas for Satellite Control
Original: Space Force Interested in Commercial Antennas to Control Satellites
The US Space Force is looking at using commercially owned ground antennas to control its satellites, rather than relying solely on its own government infrastructure. The idea is part of a broader push to lean on the commercial space sector for services like communications tracking and satellite operations. Details on which providers or programs are involved remain limited, but the story is drawing attention within defence and space industry circles.
Why now: Growing Pentagon interest in commercial space services makes this a notable shift in how military satellites would be operated.
