Northrop Grumman collaboration with SpaceX on classified spy satellite project

Northrop Grumman is collaborating with SpaceX on a top-secret project involving spy satellites that capture high-resolution imagery of the Earth, according to insiders. The aim of the program is to enhance the US government's ability to track military and intelligence targets by providing high-quality imagery from low-Earth orbits. The involvement of Northrop Grumman reflects a desire to avoid relying too heavily on a single contractor. While details about other companies' participation are unclear, Northrop Grumman is providing sensors for some of the SpaceX satellites and will test them at its own facilities. SpaceX has already launched around a dozen prototypes and is providing test imagery to the National Reconnaissance Office.
