Rogers said the Jackal vehicles could be deployed to help identify potential threats. satellites were not designed to maneuver in orbit “ without regret” because they have to conserve fuel.
The challenge for the Space Force, he said, is that the United States faces an “asymmetric” disadvantage as rival powers like Russia and China deploy maneuvering satellites, some armed with space weapons that could threaten U.S. The DoD currently relies on large defense contractors to meet these needs, Rogers said, but the military could benefit from more specialized providers. Space Force needs an “industrial partner” solely focused on producing technologies to defend assets in orbit. He pitched investors the idea that the U.S. The company also develops digital tools for building models for space wargaming and training. He said the Jackal was designed to fill gaps in the military’s capabilities to conduct intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance in orbit, a specialty known as space domain awareness. Air Force satellite and ground systems operator, said the company will pursue DoD contracts for these orbital vehicles and plans to scale up production. The first two spacecraft are scheduled to launch this fall on SpaceX’s Transporter 9 rideshare. It built a 35,000 square foot factory where it’s producing the Jackal Autonomous Orbital Vehicle.

The startup, formed a year ago to focus on the national security market, announced April 6 it has raised $30 million in pre-seed, seed, and Series A funding.
military needs to compete with rival powers in space, True Anomaly’s CEO and co-founder Even Rogers told SpaceNews. This is the type of technology that the U.S. One of the spacecraft will attempt to chase down an “uncooperative” object and take pictures up close. WASHINGTON - True Anomaly, a startup based in Denver, is building two small satellites that it plans to launch into orbit later this year.
