An outage or loss of GPS satellites is estimated to cost the U.S. military and economy upward of $1 billion a day.
The Resilient Global Positioning System (R-GPS) program is intended to provide an alternative, backup network for the current satellite system.
For startup Astranis , the program marks an expansion beyond satellite internet, as it announced its new line of Nexus satellites.
Space Systems Command wants to buy and deploy the R-GPS satellites in batches of eight , with the first set launching as soon as 2028 .
Astranis' first satellite malfunctioned last year due to a third -party issue with its solar arrays.
SSC plans to select one or more companies to move forward with the program into the construction stages.
