The Trump administration’s plans to overhaul military space operations is well underway with a new warfighting headquarters in the U.S. Space Command and bipartisan support in Congress for establishing a dedicated Space Force within the Air Force.
But the parallel plan for a Space Development Agency, the small organization intended to help quickly introduce emerging space technologies, is at risk of being aborted before liftoff.
The House has already voted to withhold $150 million in requested funding for fiscal year 2020 until the Pentagon delivers a clear work plan and cost estimate for the nascent agency, which began operating in March. Vested interests in industry and within the Air Force are said to be working to stifle or kill it.
