The missions will help Space Force build out its communications and missile tracking satellite layers.
These transport and tracking layer satellites, with designations T1TL and T1TR, are part of the SDA's Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture , a network of satellites that allows for advanced weapons detection and high-speed communication among critical military infrastructure.
"Our ongoing commitment to successfully launch our secure communications, GPS, and space awareness satellites, and place them into their orbits, continues to provide our warfighters and nation's decision-makers with the assets and vital information they need every day to stay ahead of and deter adversarial forces," Maj. Gen. Stephen Purdy, SSC's program executive officer for Assured Access to Space, said in the statement.
