Intelligence Agency Reveals Next Generation Orwellian Satellite Tracking, No Vehicle, No Individual Is Safe


Shame on you Elon Musk, shame on you.

New reports have shed light on a once-secret initiative between SpaceX and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) to launch and utilize the next generation of satellite tracking technology.

The only problem? The satellites will be able to track pretty much any vehicle and any individual on the planet in real time.

This new program will use ‘constellations’ of SpaceX satellites to achieve this Orwellian feat of tracking individuals and vehicles through space.

What could possibly go wrong when the intelligence agencies have this type of technology at their disposal? Chime in below and let us know what you think:

Reuters revealed:

The network is being built by SpaceX’s Starshield business unit under a $1.8 billion contract signed in 2021 with the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), an intelligence agency that manages spy satellites, the sources said.

The plans show the extent of SpaceX’s involvement in U.S. intelligence and military projects and illustrate a deeper Pentagon investment into vast, low-Earth orbiting satellite systems aimed at supporting ground forces.

If successful, the sources said the program would significantly advance the ability of the U.S. government and military to quickly spot potential targets almost anywhere on the globe.

OSINT Defender reports: “Elon Musk’s Private Space Company, SpaceX since 2021 has reportedly been working on a $1.8 Billion Secret Contract from the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office (NRO).

[This initiative] would see the launch of Hundreds of Spy Satellites into Low-Orbit around the Earth by the Company’s Starshield Unit, that would act as a “Swarm Network” to conduct Precision Intelligence Gathering for the U.S. Military.”

Space.Com pointed out that SpaceX was not the only company launching these satellites for the NRO:

NROL-123 was the fifth mission that Rocket Lab has launched for the NRO.

The other four lifted off from the company’s Launch Complex 1 (LC-1) on New Zealand’s North Island.
