SKY NET Darpa is about to launch US military ‘satellite space swarm’ just like Elon Musk’s Starlink
THE US military is developing a secretive network of spy satellites that will one day blanket Earth's orbit.
Code-named "Blackjack", the first of many small probes to join the network will launch into space later this year.
Blackjack is the brainchild of the experimental US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa), reports C4ISRNET.
Darpa says prototypes launched over the next few years could pave the way for a global military communication network.
“Blackjack seeks to develop and validate critical elements of global high-speed autonomous networks in [Low Earth Orbit],” a spokesperson told C4ISRNET.
It will "prove a capability that could provide the Department of Defense with highly connected, resilient, and persistent overhead coverage," they added.
It's not clear precisely what the eventual goal of the Blackjack constellation is.
Rumours suggest the network will provide unprecedented satellite coverage through which officials can spy on enemy states or intercept messages.
Blackjack will reportedly work in a similar way to Starlink, the satellite network bankrolled by kooky billionaire Elon Musk.
Musk has already flung more than 420 Starlink satellites into orbit and hopes to one day have 12,000 in operation.
They will one day beam cheap WiFi to people on Earth.
Like Starlink, Blackjack aims to make satellite operations more cost-effective by launching hundreds of small, cheap probes to perform the functions of a bigger one.
Most current spy satellites take up to a decade to research and launch, costing upwards of $1billion (£0.8billion) a pop.
For comparison, each Blackjack satellite is projected to cost just $6million (£4.9million).
What is Starlink?
Here's what you need to know…
Starlink is a satellite project led by billionaire SpaceX CEO Elon Musk
Musk intends to put 12,000 satellites into Earth's orbit, possibly rising to 42,000 in future
The 'mega-constellation' will eventually be able to beam internet coverage to anywhere on the planet
SpaceX also intends to sell satellites for military, scientific and exploratory purposes
The firm sends its satellites up in batches of 60 at a time and has so far deployed more than 360 into orbit.
The satellites are launched atop unmanned Falcon 9 rockets, which are also built by SpaceX
How the space tech will affect the night sky is causing concern as they look bright in the night sky
Astronomers and amateur stargazers have repeatedly blasted the firm for ruining their observations
SpaceX argues that its satellites are only bright shortly after launch because they sit in a low orbit
Over several weeks, the satellites apparently move further from Earth, dampening their effect on space observations
Not only this, but larger satellites represent "big, fat, juicy targets" to adversaries, according to Darpa's Paul "Rusty" Thomas.
Darpa plans to launch 20 prototype payloads to low Earth orbit in late 2020 and early 2021. It hopes to have 20 in operation by 2022.
They will demonstrate supercomputer processing, communication with tactical radios, and inter-satellite communication.
If all goes to plan, the US military should have an early version of Blackjack going within the next few years.

In other news, Musk says Starlink will begin beaming ultra-fast internet to the USA this year – with global coverage promised for 2021.
Brits took snaps of Starlink satellites passing over the UK last month.
And, Nasa astronauts will launch into space from US soil next month for the first time in nearly a decade.

MILITARY VERSION OF SPACEX'S STARLINK
THE FIRST SATELLITE OF THE BLACKJACK NETWORK IS LAUNCHING LATER THIS YEAR.
Blackjack Network
DARPA, the research wing of the U.S. Military, is preparing to launch an orbital mesh network similar to SpaceX's Starlink.
The first satellite for the Blackjack network will launch later this year, C4ISRNET reports. While there's still lots of testing, simulation, and launching to be done before Blackjack is complete, the move could be an important first step toward a new global military communication network.
First Of Many
Like the Starlink network, Blackjack will ultimately become a constellation of low-orbit satellites that blanket the globe.
"Blackjack seeks to develop and validate critical elements of global high-speed autonomous networks in [Low Earth Orbit]," reads a DARPA statement provided to C4ISRNET, "proving a capability that could provide the Department of Defense with highly connected, resilient, and persistent overhead coverage."
Planning Ahead
The upcoming launch of the satellite Mandrake 1, as well as the next three launches planned for 2021, will serve as prototype demonstrations for some of the technological capabilities expected of a complete Blackjack network. Those include as supercomputer processing, communication with tactical radios, and inter-satellite communication.
"It's important that we get the design right," Blackjack Program Manager Paul Thomas told C4ISRNET. "We focused first on buses and payloads, then the autonomous mission management system, which we call Pit Boss. We anticipate we'll begin integrating the first two military payloads next summer with launch via rideshare in late 2021, followed by the remainder of the Blackjack demonstration sub-constellation in 2022."
