Space Force explores ‘small GEO’ options for resilient communications

The U.S. Space Force is focusing on ‘small GEO’ satellites, weighing 300 to 500 kilograms, to enhance military communications more cost-effectively and efficiently.

These satellites offer geostationary capabilities at reduced costs and quicker development times compared to traditional multi-ton GEO satellites.

Cordell DeLaPena, a key Space Force official, emphasized their need for agile and resilient communication systems.

Clare Hopper, head of the Space Force’s Commercial Satellite Communications Office, announced a new program called “maneuverable GEO.”

This program will leverage innovations in the small GEO sector for satellite communications and military satellite leasing, with proposals expected soon, Space News has reported.
