🛡️SpaceX Leads the Bidding for the "Golden Dome" Missile Defense System, Planning to Build a Satellite Constellation to Provide "Subscription Services"

Elon Musk's SpaceX and its partners Palantir and Anduril are in the lead in the bidding for the "Golden Dome" missile defense system proposed by the Trump administration. The plan is to launch 400 to over 1,000 satellites for missile detection and tracking. SpaceX proposes to adopt a "subscription service" model, where the government pays for the right to use the technology. The Pentagon has received letters of intent from more than 180 companies. SpaceX estimates that the preliminary engineering and design work will cost between $6 billion and $10 billion. The project is expected to deliver some capabilities as early as 2026, and some after 2030.
