UK-Based Orbital Security Startup Unites Space Companies
Shield Space, a UK-based orbital security startup, has launched the UK Space Superiority Coalition to create a commercially led defense force in orbit. The coalition brings together space companies across the UK to build a space-based carrier strike force, with six priorities including autonomy, propulsion, and SDA capabilities. The goal is to create an interoperable system to respond to threats on orbit, with an initial focus on non-kinetic capabilities. This development was first reported by an unknown source.
