The US Space Force has extended its contract with SpaceX through November 30 for $14.1 million.
The Pentagon has extended the contract with American businessman Elon Musk’s SpaceX company for another six months to provide Starlink Internet services to Ukraine. This was reported by the Bloomberg news agency, citing a statement by Space Systems Command press secretary Bonnie Poindexter.
As a result, the US Space Force extended its contract with SpaceX until November 30 for $14.1 million.
The contract provides access to Starlink, hardware and customer support on agreed terms.
As you know, at the beginning of February this year, information appeared that the Russian front began to use Starlink terminals. GUR later confirmed the data and made the evidence public. According to intelligence data, the Russian Federation receives Starlink terminals through third countries thanks to the so-called parallel import.
However, Musk assured that his company SpaceX is not selling Starlink terminals to Russia directly or indirectly.
Subsequently, Democrats in the US House of Representatives launched an investigation into Elon Musk’s SpaceX over reports of use of Starlink satellite Internet service by Russian troops in Ukraine.
