U.S. Space Command

Parsons Corporation has been awarded an $85 million contract related to the U.S. Space Command headquarters. The deal covers work connected to the command's new permanent home, which is being established as the Pentagon reorganizes its space operations. It marks another significant win for Parsons in the growing U.S. military space sector.

A Space Force general has been selected to lead U.S. Space Command as the command relocates its headquarters to Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama. The move, long delayed and politically contested, shifts the strategic command from Colorado to Alabama, and the appointment signals the leadership team that will oversee the transition and the command's space operations mission.

Lt. Gen. David Miller Jr. has been nominated to serve as the next head of U.S. Space Command. The nomination places a senior Air Force officer at the helm of the command responsible for military operations in space, at a time when space is increasingly viewed as a critical strategic domain. Further details on timing and Senate confirmation have not yet been reported.

The White House has put forward its choice to lead U.S. Space Command, the military organization responsible for operations in orbit and beyond. The nomination, reported by Aviation Week, sets up a confirmation process in the Senate for the next commander of the Colorado-based command. Attention will likely focus on the nominee's background and priorities for military space policy.
