The Pentagon has extended a contract with Elon Musk's SpaceX to provide Starlink internet services in Ukraine, Bonnie Poindexter, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Space Systems Command, told Bloomberg.
“The contract provides access to the Starlink constellation, equipment and customer support under agreed terms,” Poindexter said.
Notably, this is part of $2.5 billion in contracts SpaceX has received for its military satellite launch program. SpaceX is also currently in a new round of bidding with United Launch Alliance, a joint venture between Lockheed Martin Corp. and Boeing Co.
