The US Space Force's Mission Delta 2 oversees nearly 50,000 objects in orbit, focusing on the increasing frequency of satellite launches, primarily by SpaceX for Starlink. Unlike the US, other countries, such as China and Russia, often do not disclose details about their launches, which creates uncertainty and anxiety for US military operators. They must monitor potential threats to US satellites and assess the capabilities of adversaries' new satellites, further complicated by the concealed nature of sensitive US orbital data.
The US Space Force's Mission Delta 2 is a unit that reports to Space Operations Command, tasked with managing the nearly 50,000 trackable objects in orbit.
Dozens of satellites are launched weekly, primarily by SpaceX, to continue the deployment of the Starlink broadband network, ensuring military awareness of these activities.
