SpaceX is scheduled to launch the first batch of 21 operational satellites for the Space Development Agency's Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture on Wednesday from Vandenberg Space Force Base. This mission, part of a broader effort to enhance U.S. military capabilities against hypersonic threats, aims to establish a satellite network for global communications and missile tracking.

The launch is part of a $309.7 million contract with the U.S. Space Force and marks a significant step in the agency's strategic initiatives since its establishment in 2019.
