Specifically, it directs the government to “work The concept of hosting government payloads on commercial jointly to acquire space launch services and hosted payload satellite platforms has received much attention in recent years arrangements that are reliable, responsive to United States as a way for governments to acquire capabilities more cheaply government needs, and cost-effective.” The policy is the most while helping industry to maximize returns on spacecraft significant and encouraging change that supporters of hosted investments. While nations such as Australia have been willing to payloads have seen in at least three years, said Joe Rouge, put operational payloads on commercial satellites, the U.S. director of the Pentagon’s National Security Space Office military has so far only been willing to place research and (NSSO). “It’s pretty hard to be much more explicit than that, to development payloads on commercial platforms.

Should [ViaSat] stumble, we will be in a position to satellite terminals and other ground gear. Kornberg said ViaSat’s supply our backward-compatible BFT-2 transceivers into the winning bid, at 50 percent lower than Comtech’s $500 million network that is already in place today and uses our Comtech proposal, is difficult to understand.
