The US Space Force has selected two companies to build new 'space-to-space' satellites, with delivery targeted for 2028. The vehicles are intended to operate between other spacecraft in orbit rather than supporting ground links. The announcement is drawing attention among defense and space watchers tracking how the military plans to expand its orbital capabilities and which contractors will shape that next generation of hardware.
