An artist’s rendering depicts the GHOST-R satellite prototype, which is designed to deliver geostationary Earth orbit (GEO) reconnaissance capabilities to the Department of War, at an undisclosed location, Sept. 18, 2026. The GHOST-R program, a partnership between the Department of War Innovation Unit (DIU) and Space Systems Command (SSC), leverages commercially developed space vehicles, buses, and electro-optical payloads to deliver high-resolution space-to-space imagery for characterizing resident space objects in GEO. DIU and SSC awarded prototype contracts to True Anomaly and Northrop Grumman to drive down costs and accelerate timelines this critical area. (Courtesy graphic by Northrop Grumman)
