Space Force to expand missile-defense satellite network in medium Earth orbit

The U.S. Space Force has launched the next phase of its missile defense satellite program, inviting proposals for the design of satellites under the Missile Track Custody Epoch 2 initiative.

This marks the second phase of developing a missile-tracking network in medium Earth orbit (MEO).

Building on the initial Epoch 1 program, which faced delays and contract issues, the Space Force aims to test new technologies with the Epoch 2 prototypes before full-scale production.

The program is expected to involve a $6 billion investment over 2025-2029 for up to 18 satellites, Space News has reported.
