Space Force seeks industry input on satellite network near the Moon
The US military posted a Request for Information on a federal procurement site asking companies about a possible 'proliferated cislunar constellation'—a network of satellites operating near the Moon, with the number of spacecraft and their exact mission undisclosed. The notice follows public remarks by Space Force acquisitions official Maj. Gen. Stephen Purdy, who has said the Pentagon is increasingly focused on extending military capability beyond geostationary orbit into cislunar space.
