ok, ist angekommen ✅

Die Bezeichnung #NGO / #NRO (#NichtRegierungsOrganisation) ist also ab jetzt ein #Kampfbegriff & #Schimpfwort für die #Konserven.

Wobei es sich jetzt auch bei deren abgöttisch verehrter "#Wirtschaft" halt um Nicht-Regierungs-Organisationen handelt.

Aber darum gehts denen nicht. Sondern darum, dass sie die Gesamtheit von #Natur, #Klima, #Teilhabe,, #Menschenrechte, #Gerechtigkeit & #Kontrolle von Macht als #Staatsfeind definiert haben.

Innerhalb und außerhalb der Kirche.

Elon Musk’s DOGE Posts Classified Data On Its New Website

"Elon Musk’s team... has posted classified information about the size & staff of a #US intelligence agency on its new website...

#Musk can’t claim he wasn’t aware that the National Reconnaissance Office is one of the nation’s #intelligence agencies. His company, #SpaceX, has a $1.8 billion contract with #NRO to build hundreds of spy satellites."

#NRO chief: “You can’t hide” from our new swarm of #SpaceX-built #spy #satellites
National Reconnaissance Office is taking advantage of SpaceX's S#tarlink satellite assembly line to build a network of at least 100 satellites, and perhaps many more, to monitor adversaries around the world. So far, more than 80 of these SpaceX-made spacecraft, each a little less than a ton in mass, have launched on four Falcon 9 rockets. There are more to come.

"Prototypen im Einsatz: SpaceX entwickelt und baut angeblich US-Spionagestelliten

Lange hat sich SpaceX geweigert, zu eng mit etablierten Konkurrenten zu arbeiten. Jetzt baut die Firma Spionagesatelliten fürs US-Militär mit Northrop Grumman."

“We’ve changed our procurement methods to take advantage of #LEO technologies,” Troy Meink, #NRO's principal deputy director, said in a speech at the Satellite 2024 conference on Monday, according to SpaceNews.

"Our main priority is to meet the requirements with minimum risk.

When the new constellation, or at least an initial segment thereof, might begin #collecting #intelligence operationally, if it hasn't already, isn't clear.

#SpaceX has been launching relevant prototype satellites since 2020, before its formal contract with NRO,
and "a U.S. government database of objects in orbit shows several SpaceX missions having deployed satellites that neither the company nor the government have ever acknowledged," per Reuters.

In the context of the Reuters report about its work for the NRO, SpaceX's Starshield website does currently list "Earth Observation" as one of its three main focus areas.

The other two are "Communications" and "Hosted Payloads."

"Starlink already offers unparalleled end-to-end user data #encryption.

Starshield uses additional high-assurance cryptographic capability to host classified payloads and process data securely, meeting the most demanding government requirements," according to the Starshield site.

"Starlink's inter-satellite #laser #communications terminal, which is the only communications laser operating at scale in orbit today, can be integrated onto partner satellites to enable incorporation into the Starshield network."

Laser-based communications systems are capable of sending large amounts of information quickly and are also highly secure and resistant to electronic warfare jamming
#Starshield

The U.S. National Reconnaissance Office ( #NRO ) is reportedly acquiring a #constellation of hundreds of #intelligence-#gathering #satellites from SpaceX,
with a specific focus on tracking targets down below in support of ground operations.

Though details about this project are still very limited, there are clear parallels to what the U.S. Space Force has previously said about a highly classified #space-#based #radar #surveillance program,
which it first publicly disclosed around the same time SpaceX is said to have gotten its NRO contract.

If this program is the one we think it is, it could bring about a revolution in both tactical and strategic space-based sensing

#Starshield, SpaceX's government-sales-focused business unit, has been working on the new low Earth orbit (LEO) spy satellites under a $1.8 billion contract it received in 2021 from NRO, according to a report from Reuters this past weekend

The Wall Street Journal had previously published a story about the existence of the contract in February, but did not name NRO as being involved or provide specific details about the deal's scope of work

Reuters reporting discloses for the first time that the #SpaceX contract is for a powerful new #spy system w/hundreds of #satellites bearing Earth-imaging capabilities that can operate as a swarm in low orbits, & that the spy agency that Musk's company is working w/is the #NRO.

Reuters was unable to determine when the new network of satellites would come online & could not establish what other companies are part of the program w/their own contracts.
