Pentagon requesting $15M for new SDA, $19M for SPACECOM

摘要

The Defense Department is requesting a $15 million reprogramming to establish the Space Development Agency and $19 million to stand up U.S. Space Command ～ two critical components of the Pentagon's plan to reorganize the military space enterprise. The SDA funds, if approved, would support initial government and contractor personnel for the new organization as well as the agency's first major project - crafting an architecture plan for a proliferated low-earth-orbit satellite constellation. The program is a new start in the fiscal year 2020 budget request.
