The 2022 defense spending bill requests clarification of the roles and responsibilities of senior civilian and uniformed leaders with space responsibilities and asks for an explanation of what space acquisition units do, including the Space Warfighting Analysis Center, Space Development Agency, Space Rapid Capabilities Office, and space programs in the Department of the Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office.
The approximately $1,300,000,000 Congress added for military space funds technology development projects run by the Space Force, pays for an extra Global Positioning System satellite, increases spending on small launch services, and increases funding for Space Development Agency missile-detecting satellites.
Appropriators added nearly $1,300,000,000 for U.S. Space Force and Space Development Agency projects above the Biden administration’s request for fiscal year 2022.
Congress inserted $550,000,000 for a demonstration of missile-tracking satellites to be developed by the Space Development Agency for U.S. Indo-Pacific Command.
The Space Development Agency awarded nearly $1,800,000,000 in contracts for 126 satellites for the Transport Layer.
The Space Development Agency awarded BridgeComm and Space Micro a $1,700,000 Small Business Innovation Research contract to demonstrate one-to-many optical communications technology over two years.
The Space Development Agency’s low Earth orbit constellation, known as Transport Layer, will use optical inter-satellite links to route data traffic.
The omnibus bill adds $550,000,000 to the Space Development Agency’s budget for medium field-of-view sensor satellites to detect and track missiles in the Indo-Pacific region.

Northrop Grumman’s proposal was received and evaluated under an Other Transaction Authorities solicitation SDA-PS-22-01.
SDA’s Transport Layer is a proliferated constellation designed to have enough satellites that it would be extremely costly for an adversary to try to take it down.
SDA initially sought Tranche 1 bids under FAR contracting but reissued the solicitation under OTAs after a protest by Maxar Technologies in October.
SDA ordered 20 Tranche 0 satellites in 2020, split as 10 each from Lockheed Martin and York Space Systems.
SDA plans to launch Tranche 1 starting in September 2024.
SDA’s 20 Tranche 0 satellites are scheduled to launch later 2022.
The Space Development Agency ordered 20 Tranche 0 satellites in 2020, with 10 each from Lockheed Martin and York Space Systems scheduled to launch later 2022.
