The US Space Force launches its first national security mission, sending an ultra-secure military communication satellite into orbit
The White House announced the creation of the new Space Force military arm in December, with President Donald Trump calling space"the world's newest warfighting domain."
The United States Space Force launched its first national security mission on Thursday, sending an ultra-secure military communication satellite into orbit even as the coronavirus pandemic paralyses much of the country. AEHF-6, as the satellite is called, is the sixth and final in the Lockheed Martin AEHF constellation.
The satellite constellation provides "global, survivable, protected communications capabilities for strategic command and tactical warfighters operating on ground, sea and air platforms," according to Lockheed Martin.
