SpaceX launched 21 data-transport satellites for the U.S. Space Force’s Space Development Agency aboard a Falcon 9 from Vandenberg Space Force Base.

The satellites are part of the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture, a low-Earth-orbit network designed to support military communications and missile warning and tracking. The flight was the fourth of nine planned Falcon 9 missions for the program’s Tranche 1 deployment and marked SpaceX’s 111th Falcon 9 launch of 2026.
