Original: The Pentagon’s Commercial Space Reserve Goes Operational
The Pentagon's commercial space reserve has officially become operational, establishing a framework under which the US military can tap commercial satellite and space capabilities during crises. The move formalizes Defence Department reliance on private space providers, integrating industry assets into national security planning as commercial space activity expands.
Why now: The activation of a military mechanism drawing on commercial space assets is a significant shift in US space policy.
