US Space Force Demonstrates Rapid Response Capabilities
The US Space Force has conducted a war game in orbit, pitting two satellites against each other in a simulated threat scenario. The Victus Haze mission, launched on a Rocket Lab Electron rocket, demonstrated the Space Force’s ability to rapidly launch and maneuver satellites in response to potential threats. The exercise was part of the Space Force’s Tactically Responsive Space program, which aims to ensure the ability to respond to irresponsible behavior in orbit. The mission was first reported by Gizmodo.
