It was the launch of the first Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture Tranche 1 Transport Layer space vehicles from Vandenberg. The rocket delivered on orbit 21 Tranche 1 data transport space vehicles built by York Space Systems that will provide low-latency communication links to support the warfighter with a resilient network of integrated capabilities, including tracking of advanced missile threats, enabled by beyond-line-of-sight tactical data links from low-Earth orbit.
